1Opinion of the Court

AMDAHL, Chief Justice.

The issue in this case is whether the trial court abused its discretion in suppressing the testimony of plaintiff’s experts in this medical malpractice action. The trial court’s action eliminated all of plaintiff’s expert testimony necessitating a judgment of dismissal against plaintiff. The Court of Appeals reversed, holding that given the facts of this case, the penalties borne by plaintiff evidenced an abuse of the trial court’s discretion. We granted defendant’s petition for further review and affirm the Court of Appeals decision.
