1Opinion of the Court
BYE, Circuit Judge.
James Bergstrom filed suit claiming malicious prosecution and violations of his civil rights. After numerous delays drawing out the discovery period for eighteen months, Bergstrom’s attorney failed to comply with a court ordered deadline to submit answers to written discovery requests. The district court dismissed Berg-strom’s suit with prejudice for failure to prosecute and failures to comply with a court order and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. We vacate the order of dismissal and remand the matter to the district court.
