Sec. 2700.59.  Failure to cooperate in discovery; sanctions.

    Upon the failure of any person, including a party, to respond to a 
discovery request or upon an objection to such a request, the party 
seeking discovery may file a motion with the Judge requesting an order 
compelling discovery. If any person, including a party, fails to comply 
with an order compelling discovery, the Judge may make such orders with 
regard to the failure as are just and appropriate, including deeming as 
established the matters sought to be discovered or dismissing the 
proceeding in favor of the party seeking discovery. For good cause shown 
the Judge may excuse an objecting party from complying with the request.
