OPINION
BUSTAMANTE, Judge.
1. This case affords us the opportunity to clarify the scope of the district court’s authority to impose sanctions for discovery violations in the context of Rule 5-505(B), NMRA 1997. The State of New Mexico (State) appeals from an order striking a key prosecution witness for failure to include his name on pretrial witness lists. It argues that the district court abused its discretion in striking the witness because it did not first consider less severe sanctions and because the Defendant failed to make a particularized showing of prejudice. We affirm.
