How I can effectively dismiss my Lawsuit in Federal District Court and file again in order to restart the case calendar without suffering negative effects such as Res Judicata, etc... ?If I dismiss a lawsuit in Federal Court, can I file the same lawsuit again without facing the potential consequences of res judicata? The statute states: Unless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the dismissal is without prejudice. But if the plaintiff previously dismissed any federal- or state-court action based on or including the same claim, a notice of dismissal operates as an adjudication on the merits.I am not certain of the interpretation - does it mean that once I file a voluntary dismissal for whatever reason, I can't bring it again if the defendants and I cannot agree on a solution and... If I do the defendants can file for summary judgment using - res judicata -or-Does it mean that I can file the same claim a second time without any ramifications but if I dismiss the case for a second time... filing a third time would invoke res judicata and prevent the filing of a third claim on the same issues.Please let me know in plain English what the interpretation of the statute Fed. R. Civ. P. 41 (a) (1)(B) means and how I can effectively dismiss and re-file.

I wish to file suit in federal court pro se. The suit involves obtaining permits under a corporation name that I am 100% stock holder. A local law was passed and found to be constitutional which states that the permit in a corporation and the stock holder of the corporation are to be treated as one, I have been denied a permit in my name several times because I am the stockholder of the corporation that has one. Federal court does not allow corporations to file pro se, how do I file pro se as a person and a corporation since the Local law was found to be constitutional. I am not looking to challenge the local law.

This question is about an employment EEO case in federal court where the orginal pleadings were about discrimination and retaliation. Question Part 1: Do ongoing and later retaliations in a nexus with the case need to be filed with a leave to amend for amended pleadings or are they automatically integrated into the lawsuit? Question: Part 2: Will a response to a motion for summary judgment be sufficient and considered as amended pleadings? See: Ganther v Ingle where a response to MSJ is considered as amended pleadings in the U.S. 5th circuit.In Texas, the law is such that judges always allow a cure for any defect of pleadings, before during, or after trial. However, my question involve federal court. The attorney does not believe that amended pleadings are necessary, since a retaliation claim does not have to be administratively exhausted as a new claim, since it is in nexus with the orginal pleadings or integrated into the law suit.
