Summary

Justice Boatright dissented from the majority's conclusion that the trial court lacked authority to issue the modified case management order. She reasoned that Colorado Rule of Civil Procedure 16 expressly allowed the court to modify disclosure and discovery timelines and that the order merely accelerated disclosures and delayed discovery. She also would have upheld dismissal as a permissible sanction for noncompliance because the plaintiffs possessed the information required by the order.
