During the discovery phase of a federal civil case, a party fails to respond to discovery requests without asserting a valid objection. What sanction may the court impose for this noncompliance?
Issue an order compelling the responses and impose monetary sanctions.
Enter a default judgment.
Dismiss the noncomplying party's claims.
Require the party to attend a forensic investigation.
Under Rule 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the court may issue an order compelling the party to respond to discovery requests and impose monetary sanctions for failing to comply. Dismissing claims or entering default judgments are reserved for more severe or repeated noncompliance. Requiring a forensic investigation is not a standard sanction for discovery violations.
