The current matter stems from the parent's alleged failure to "execute the necessary documents to effectuate the settlement agreement previously reached." Dismissal is warranted based on a failure to comply with the court's "rules and orders," since the school district had to continue litigating the case, and a lesser sanction would be inadequate.
