Assuming that this is only the first time that you have filed the lawsuit, a dismissal "without prejudice" means that you can file it again. But the reason that it was dismissed was likely because of some flaw in the way that you pled the cause of action, the nature of the cause of action, the parties named, etc. Therefore, the same thing is likely to occur if you refile the lawsuit in just the same way as before. In other words, reread your first filing to identify your error. Correct the error, then refile.

What does Dismissed With Prejudice Pursuant to Civil Rule 41a mean?

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.
