A: No. Dismissal with prejudice means the case is dismissed and you cannot file the case again based on the same set of facts and circumstances.

A: You must file an appeal; time is of the essence. If 30 days has not passed since you were served with the Court's order - at least file the notice of appeal immediately with or without an attorney. Then consult with a appellate attorney right away.
