any court case that is dismissed without prejudice means it can be heard again at a later time. if it is dismissed WITH prejudice, it means don't bring it up again.
It is an order issued by a judge actually dismissing the charges that were brought in the case - usually for some legal insufficiency, or lack of evidence, of the case itself. There are two types of dismissal: Dismissal WITH Prejudice, and Dismissal WITHOUT Prejudice. WITH prejudice means that the same charges cannot be re-instituted and brought before the court again,. WITHOUT Prejudice means that the charges MAY be re-instituted and brought before court again AFTER the legal insufficiency is cured.
A "Dismissed without Prejudice" order means that the lawsuit is being dismissed by the court, but the case can be re-filed if the party chooses to re-file. This often happens when a lawsuit is filed but, for some reason, it is not pursued. Maybe a plaintiff becomes ill, or maybe a witness can't be located. The possibilities are endless. Rather than the case sitting in the court docket without there being any activity on it, the court dismisses it. On the other hand, a case that is "Dismissed WITH Prejudice" means, usually, that the claim is barred from being refiled.
You need to ask the court to issue a dismissal order, with prejudice. If the case is dismissed without an order at all, the other side can ask that the case be reinstated, with prejudice means that they filed the case for the purposes of harassment and cannot refile it again for any reason. Caveat; you could still ask that the case be dismissed for failure to timely prosecute the case and that the case is brought solely for the purposes of harassment to injure your credit, plus the fact that the case has already been tried and dismissed.
Basically the court is telling you, and everyone else involved in the case, that the case is over (dismissed) UNLESS someone can appear before the court and say it is not for some reason(without prejudice).
The statute of limitations on a case dismissed without prejudice should be the same as the statute of limitations for the charges. Being dismissed without prejudice just means either the plaintiff or the state has dropped the case for now, but still have the right to bring it back. For example, if they dismiss a murder case without prejudice, there's no statute of limitations. They can bring it back at any time. For personal injury, the length varies by state. It could be anywhere between 1-6 years where they could bring the case back. Check the charge number for your state. You could probably Google "statute of limitations (state) (charge)". Many states list their statutes online. Hope this helps

Rule 41(b) is one of the Federal Rules of Procedure for lawsuits in the federal courts. It deals with Involuntary Dismissals. This rule provides that if a plaintiff fails to prosecute his/her claim or to comply with the Rules or orders of the Court, the defendant may ask the court to dismiss the complaint. Under the right circumstances if the plaintiff cannot or will not move the case forward or obey a rule or order, the court can dismiss the case. Under the federal rules, this type of dismissal operates as an adjudication on the merits and is a dismissal WITH prejudice unless the order specifically says that the dismissal is without prejudice. If the court order says "dismissed pursuant to Rule 41(b)", then it may not be reinstated. If the order says "dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(b), then it may be reinstated.

To "retry" a case that has been dismissed with prejudice you would have to take an appeal of the action since it has already been tried and the dismissal is not a procedural dismissal. Aside from a direct appeal, a party can ask the trial court to reconsider its decision, reverse its own order and reinstate the action. A party can make a motion for a new trial. A party can make a motion to be relieved from its effects for the various reasons set forth in the court rules as may apply. Common reasons for being relieved of an effect of an order are that the order was entered as a result of mistake, inadvertence, surprise, excusable neglect, fraud or any other reason that the interests of justice would require the order be set aside.
