A Notice of Voluntary Dismissal Without Prejudice is the dismissal of one or more Defendants in a pending civil action. In a foreclosure, the Lender will often name any possible party having an interest in the property at issue as Defendants i.e. "Unknown Spouse of Jane Doe." Often prior to a Summary Judgment hearing, the Lender will dismiss some of the parties named in the action. "Without Prejudice" means that the Plaintiff, or Lender, may refile against the dismissed party.
