This is called a dismissal without prejudice. There are three ways to deliver legal papers to start a case.The petition, affirmation or affidavit must state the result of any prior application for the same relief. The OSC must be double-spaced. Service is "complete" upon personal delivery but other types of service are "complete" when affidavits of service are filed with the court. Process servers must fill out an affidavit of service. This affidavit should include physical descriptions of the person served. A document that simply asserts your rights and makes no concessions is not without prejudice even if it is marked as such.
