Opinion of the Court
The trial court has the inherent power to impose the sanction of dismissal for a plaintiff’s willful failure to comply with its order, the lawfulness of which was challenged only by plaintiff’s adamant refusal to answer certain questions on deposition. See Surrency v. Winn & Lovett Grocery Company, 160 Fla. 294, 34 So.2d 564 (1948); Warriner v. Ferraro, 177 So.2d 723 (Fla. 3d DCA 1965).
Affirmed.
