Allred v. Board of Regents of University of New Mexico5/28/1997
ire this Court to determine that a client is not bound by the actions of his or her attorney. We need not consider this argument further. See (issues unsupported by cited authority will not be reviewed on appeal).
Conclusion
{34} Although dismissal under Rule 1-037 is an extreme sanction, "district courts have a duty to enforce compliance with rules of discovery, and they should not shirk from imposition of the sanction of dismissal." . Under the circumstances of this case, and in particular because of Plaintiffs' recalcitrance in obeying the district court's discovery order, the dismissal of Plaintiffs' claims against the UNM Defendants and Thompson was a proper exercise of the district court's discretion.
{35} The orders of the district court dismissing Plaintiffs' claims are affirmed.
{36} IT IS SO ORDERED.
