Issue: Whether and (if so) under what circumstances a district court may dismiss a plaintiff’s case without prejudice under Rule 41, if the defendant has a time-bar defense in the forum where the case is pending, and that without-prejudice dismissal would permit refiling in another forum where a longer limitations period potentially applies.
