Description
Respondent Catherine Modrow commenced this action in June 1995 by serving her complaint for discrimination and sexual harassment on her former employer, appellant JP Foodservice, Inc. More than four years later, she filed the complaint with the Hennepin County District Court. Shortly thereafter, the court issued its scheduling order. After the deadline for discovery established in the order had passed, JP moved to dismiss Modrow's action for failure to prosecute. The court granted JP's motion and dismissed the action, finding that there had been inexcusable delay resulting in severe prejudice to JP. The Minnesota Court of Appeals reversed, holding that the action could not be dismissed for failure to prosecute because it had not been called for trial. We affirm the court of appeals' holding that the district court erred when it dismissed Modrow's action, but do so on other grounds.
