Description
DYER, C.J.: Pond's suit against Braniff under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 19641 was dismissed below, sua sponte, without
prejudice for failure of her counsel to prosecute the case.2 The effect of the dismissal, however, was to bar litigation
of the merits of the case because the time for the filing of Pond's suit under Title VII had expired. We hold, under the facts
of this case, that the dismissal was an abuse of discretion and reverse.
