FAQ
When a court dismisses an action, they can either do so “with prejudice” or “without prejudice.” Dismissal with prejudice means that the plaintiff cannot refile the same claim again in that court.
It should be noted that the court upon a motion for a directed verdict may in appropriate circumstances deny that motion and grant instead a new trial, or a voluntary dismissal without prejudice under Rule 41(a)(2).
Whereas a case that is dismissed “with prejudice” is dismissed permanently, a case that is dismissed “without prejudice” is only dismissed temporarily. This temporary dismissal means that the plaintiff is allowed to re-file charges, alter the claim, or bring the case to another court.
An example would be if a judge determines a lawsuit as insignificant or the issue has been resolved. There are several reasons why a case can be dismissed with prejudice. In some cases, if the court finds the evidence presented does not support the claims, they may dismiss the case.
A case is dismissed without prejudice if 1) it is not resolved on the merits but for some reason is technically deficient as filed and the judge so rules, or, 2) the plaintiff moves for a voluntary dismissal for some reason.
C.C.P. § 436 allows for a motion to strike “any irrelevant, false, or improper matter asserted in any pleading” or portion of a pleading “not drawn of filed in conformity with the laws of this state.” A motion to strike is proper “when a substantive defect is clear from the face of a complaint.” (PH II, Inc.
28 U.S.C. § 1291. So to be appealable, dismissals without prejudice must produce a final decision. And a final decision is normally one that “ends the litigation on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment.” 6.
These include dismissals for: (b)(1) a lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. (b)(2) a lack of personal jurisdiction. (b)(3) improper venue.
