7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Jennifer Dzik v. Bayer Corporation, et al
Case No.: 16-1333
Officials: BAUER, FLAUM, and KANNE, Circuit Judges
Focus: Case Dismissal
Jennifer Dzik challenges the dismissal of her personal‐injury suit after the law firm she retained (which continues to represent her in this appeal) ignored a legitimate discovery request for more than a year, flouted the requirements of a case‐management order, and failed to respond to a motion to dismiss. Given these lapses, we conclude that the district court acted well within its discretion in dismissing the action.
