- Reversing dismissal of class action securities fraud case only insofar as reversal was with prejudice, and rendering dismissal without prejudice. “Neither the magistrate judge nor the district court addressed any of the legal requirements for dismissing a once-amended civil complaint with prejudice.

That apparently unexplained move has all the appearances of an abuse of discretion, on which this court can narrowly rule without wading into disputed fact issues that are best resolved by the district court in the first instance, whether at the motion to dismiss stage or later.
