Description
In this original mandamus proceeding, relator GTE Communication Systems Corporation, a defendant in pending litigation, seeks review of sanctions imposed against it by the respondent district court. The district court concluded that four of GCSC's amended answers, its motion for summary judgment, and two affidavits in support of the motion were groundless and filed in bad faith, in violation of Rule 13, TEX. R. CIV. P. The district court also concluded that GCSC failed to produce a certain document in response to a discovery request, in violation of Rule 215, TEX. R. CIV. P. As sanctions, the district court struck GCSC's pleadings and ordered it to pay plaintiffs $150,000 in attorney fees. We granted leave to file application for writ of mandamus to review these rulings. For reasons that follow, we conditionally grant the writ.
