In the formal legal world, a court case that is dismissed with prejudice means that it is dismissed permanently. A case dismissed with prejudice is over and done with, once and for all, and can't be brought back to court. A case dismissed without prejudice means the opposite. It's not dismissed forever.

District Courts may dismiss with prejudice where the plaintiff acted irresponsibly or in bad faith, or where rehearing the claim would burden the court system.

Once the two-year deadline expires, so does the plaintiff's chance of re-filing the complaint. So clearly, time is of the essence when a case is dismissed without prejudice.
