How courts have described this case

• holding that an amendment “to identify additional sources of damages that were caused by the same pattern of conduct identified in the additional complaint” related back to the original pleading
• stating that leave to amend is futile when it is “sought to add a claim upon which the statute of limitations has run.”
• clarifying that the willful-and-bad-faith finding and the client-not-counsel finding focus on misconduct with respect to the discovery order, not pre-order misconduct
• stating that district court must link conduct to fees shifted
• describing dismissal sanction as a 7 ||“draconian remedy,” a “remedy of last resort,” and as a “lethal weapon”
• affirming a district court that first “found that the FDIC violated [an] order”
