A dismissal based on statute of limitations is often considered a judgment on the merits. See Plaut v. Spendthrift Farm, Inc., 514 U.S. 211, 228, 115 S.Ct. 1447, 131 L.Ed.2d 328 (1995) ("The rules of finality, both statutory and judge made, treat a dismissal on statute-of-limitations grounds ... as a judgment on the merits.”). A dismissal on statute of limitations grounds pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2401, however, does not constitute a judgment on the merits because that limitation is jurisdictional in nature. See Georgalis v. United States Patent and Trademark Office, 296 Fed.Appx. 14, 16 (Fed.Cir.2008) (<HOLDING>); see also Young v. United States, 92 Fed.Cl.
