Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing an action with prejudice where the trial court's final pretrial orders warned that failure to attend the trial would result in dismissal of the action, appellant and her counsel left the courtroom early during the second day of the jury trial and failed to appear on the third day, appellant's counsel sent an email to the court's bailiff stating he would not be back for the remainder of the trial that week, and neither appellant nor her counsel requested a continuance of the trial. Judgment affirmed.
