A stipulation of dismissal may be “with prejudice” or “without prejudice.” The different meanings of the terms are significant: With Prejudice means that the case is dismissed permanently. As a result, the plaintiff cannot refile the same case in the future.
If the court specifies that the dismissal of an action commenced within the time prescribed therefor, or any claim therein, is without prejudice, it may also specify in its order that a new action based on the same claim may be commenced within one year or less after such dismissal.
Rule 41 (a) (I) allows a plaintiff to dismiss his action without court order at any time before service by the adverse party of an answer or of a motion for summary judgment. Lower federal court decisions are in conflict over what constitutes an answer or a motion for summary judgment under this rule.
PRACTICE COMMENT: Rule 41(a)(1)(A) may be used to dismiss fewer than all plaintiffs or defendants from an action. There is no standard form for this purpose. Plaintiffs should construct an appropriate notice or stipulation identifying the case and the party to be dismissed.
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. They may also dismiss a case if the defendant is found innocent or has already been convicted and served their sentence.
The court may grant a motion to dismiss if the plaintiff's complaint fails to allege all the elements of a claim adequately. Or the court may grant it if the complaint fails to allege a measurable injury.
Rule 41(a) (2) deals with a dismissal by order of the court, which may be upon such terms as the court deems proper. It further provides that voluntary dismissal cannot defeat a counterclaim already pleaded. A dismissal under this paragraph is without prejudice unless otherwise specified in the order.
