Willowski v. Principi

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “A dismissal without prejudice generally does not constitute an abuse of discretion because the affected party may simply re-file.”
• “[W]here a dismissal without prejudice has the effect of precluding the plaintiff from re-filing his claim due to the running of the statute of limitations, it is tantamount to a dismissal with prejudice.”
• citations omitted; “the record does not show that the district court understood the dismissal would preclude [plaintiff] from refiling due to the statute of limitations. Nor did the court explain why a lesser sanction would be inadequate to correct [plaintiff’s]conduct.”
