1Opinion of the Court
Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge GARLAND.
GARLAND, Circuit Judge:
The district court dismissed Andrea Peterson’s pro se complaint against Arch-stone Properties because she was absent from a single motions hearing. The court had not previously found Peterson disobedient or dilatory, did not attempt lesser sanctions, and failed to explain why the case-ending sanction of dismissal was necessary. Because such a disposition is inconsistent with our precedent, we vacate the dismissal order and remand for further proceedings.
