So that the lawsuit could not be filed again.
"...with prejudice means that a party's legal rights have in fact been determined and lost. To continue the same example, if instead the court had jurisdiction, but the plaintiff did not appear for the trial, the court would dismiss the case "with prejudice." That dismissal is a judgment against the plaintiff "on the merits" of the case and extinguishes the claim that was being sued over. However, this does not prevent an appeal or a trial de novo if ordered by a higher court." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_prejudice

It means that if the dismissal granted, the case cannot be brought up again
