Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Donald L. Carr II, Cedar Rapids, for appellant.

David F. McGuire, Cedar Rapids City Atty., for appellees.

Considered by McGIVERIN, C.J., and HARRIS, LARSON, SCHULTZ, and ANDREASEN, JJ.

HARRIS, Justice.

The district court dismissed this sex discrimination suit because of the plaintiff's failure to comply with an order to submit to a deposition.

We however find this is an extreme case. Hence we affirm the dismissal.
