Practice question
A party invokes the two-dismissal rule by showing two old case numbers, but one concerned a different claim and the history does not establish a qualifying prior dismissal by the plaintiff in a competent court. Which is best?
- Two numbers conclusively establish every element
- The same-claim requirement is optional
- Any dismissal by any court always counts identically
- The actual qualifying history must be proved; the two-dismissal consequence cannot be inferred from the count alone
- The court may invent the missing history
