Description
In January 1973, Braxton sued defendant to recover damages for personal injuries allegedly suffered by plaintiff in an automobile accident. On January 20, 1974, defendant filed a "Motion to Dismiss or in the Alternative for Continuance," based on Braxtons repeated failure to appear for a physical examination by defendants doctor. On June 24, 1975, the court ordered Braxton to submit to a physical examination by July 3, 1975, or suffer dismissal of his claim. This deadline was extended to the end of July, upon motion of Braxtons attorney, because Braxton was in a hospital in Nebraska, and was extended further by agreement of the parties after defendants doctor refused to set up another appointment because of plaintiffs failure to keep previous appointments. An examination was then scheduled with another physician for August 18, 1975. After Braxton failed to appear for that examination, defendant filed a motion to dismiss the action for failure to complete discovery. Notice was given and a hearing held on September 18, 1975, at which time the court granted defendants motion. This appeal followed.
