In a federal civil lawsuit, the court held a pretrial conference where it issued an order setting deadlines for discovery, scheduling dispositive motions, and establishing a timeline for trial. After the pretrial conference, one party fails to meet the discovery deadline outlined in the pretrial order. What is the most appropriate action the court is likely to take in response to this failure?
Dismiss the non-compliant party's claims
Ignore the failure and proceed with the original schedule
The court is likely to impose sanctions for failing to comply with the discovery deadlines set in the pretrial order. Pretrial orders carry the weight of the court's directive, and non-compliance can lead to penalties to ensure the orderly progression of the case. Extensions or ignoring the failure are less appropriate responses compared to sanctions.
