2000Unless the court in its order for dismissal otherwise specifies, a dismissal under this subdivision and any dismissal not provided for in this rule, other than a dismissal for lack of jurisdiction, for improper venue, or for failure to join a party under Rule 19, operates as an adjudication upon the merits.” (Emphasis added.) We note the fact that the juvenile court judge stated that the dismissal of the 1990 action was based on the mother’s “failure to prosecute.” A dismissal for want of prosecution is clearly “with prejudice.” See Bibb v. Boyd, 417 So.2d 206 (Ala.Civ.App.1982).

(Emphasis added.) "[T]he effect of the `adjudication upon the merits' default provision of Rule 41(b)[, Fed.R.Civ.P.,] . . . is simply that, unlike a dismissal `without prejudice,' the dismissal in the present case barred refiling of the same claim in the [same court]." 2 Semtek Internat
