What is the appropriate sanction for a failure to comply with the discovery rule?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Valencia, 656 F.2d 412 (9th Cir. 1981):
The appropriate sanction for a failure to comply with a discovery rule should rest in the district judge's sound discretion. See United States v. Baxter, 492 F.2d 150, 174 (9th Cir. 1973), cert. denied, 416 U.S. 940, 94 S.Ct. 1945, 40 L.Ed.2d 292 (1974) (violation of a pretrial discovery order). Thus, our review is limited to the question of whether the district judge abused his discretion. Id.
