What does dismissed without prejudice mean in a restraining order?

"Dismissing a restraining order without prejudice" means that the court has ended the case, but the petitioner retains the right to refile the restraining order in the future if necessary. This type of dismissal does not resolve the underlying issues or prevent the petitioner from seeking protection again later. It contrasts with a dismissal with prejudice, which would permanently bar the petitioner from bringing the same claim again.
