What is a motion to dismiss with prejudice?

In: Criminal Law, Civil Process, Court Procedure [Edit categories]

Answer:

A motion is a request to the court to do (or not do) something.
Dismiss means to throw out.
With prejudice means it can not be brought again.
If dismissed without prejudice, it can be brought again at a later time.
So, a motion to dismiss with prejudice is a request to the court to throw out the issue and never let it be brought again.
