Dismissal with prejudice is a dismissal of the action, and it can never be brought again. Dismissal" without prejudice" means that the action can be refiled, assuming the statute of limitations hsn't run.

It means that the claim (plaintiffs in a civil case) was dismissed (the plaintiffs didn't win), and with prejudice means the judge has actually ruled on it, so they can't sue again with the same evidence (as opposed to without prejudice, where the case is withdrawn without the judge ruling on it).

It means that a case has been dismissed and
jeopardy has been attached - so the same case
cannot be brought up again.
"dismissed" means that essentially the judge
found the defendant "not guilty" or that there
was insufficient evidence to prove guilt.

The cause is dismissed without influence from either side.
