If the defendant shows and the plaintiff doesn't and that is how the case was dismissed, can the plaintiff sue the defendant again to be more specific?

Definitely maybe.

(What is the exact wording of the dismissal?)

OK, now I know there was no judgment, so Res Judicata doesn't apply.

Next question: Was the case dismissed with prejudice, or was the case dismissed without prejudice?

Zig - please pass the pliers

They dismissed the case for the plaintiff not showing. What I'm asking is can the plaintiff re file for the same suit if the defendant showed and the case was dismissed?
