Re: contracts breach

Your message presents seemingly conflicting and contradictory information, i.e.,you claim that you have a judgment(as a defendant) and "don't know what it means", and then go on to state that the case has been dismissed pursuant to (presumably federal) Rule 41 b.

Better see an attorney about all of this who practices in the federal court where this judgment(or dismissal) was supposedly entered and who should be able to advise you further.
