FAQ
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.
A court may allow a plaintiff to voluntarily withdraw from the suit through a Rule 41(a) dismissal without prejudice if the plaintiff would suffer hardship from continuing the suit. Also, under Rule 37(b)(2), a court may dismiss without prejudice to sanction a party acting in bad faith.
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.
Dismissal without prejudice means that the judge dismissed the plaintiff's or prosecutor's case without damaging their right to have their matter heard in court later.
If the case ends without prejudice, the accused in the case (the defendant) may be retried. If the case ends with prejudice, the effect on the defendant (for the purpose of punishment) is the equivalent of a finding of not guilty, and they cannot be retried.
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. The person whose case it is can try again.

Why Will a Case Be Dismissed with Prejudice? The primary cause for a case to be dismissed with prejudice is that errors were made, often involving the defendant's constitutional rights, that can't be mitigated. A second frequent reason is if the defendant enters and successfully completes a diversion program.
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.
