Task: Text Completion
Input (English): Bonilla did not have the present ability to comply with the court’s discovery orders. A trial court should only impose discovery sanctions, especially the severe sanction, of dismissal, “when the non-complying party has the present ability to comply with the discovery orders.” Arviv v. Perlow, 528 So.2d 139, 140 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988). It is an abuse of discretion for a trial court to impose the sanction of dismissal upon a party who does not have the present ability to comply with the court’s discovery orders. See Arviv, 528 So.2d at 140 (finding that the trial court abused its discretion in dismissing the plaintiffs case where the plaintiff had no present means with which to comply with the discovery order); Garcia Fleet Corp. v. Martinez, 483 So.2d 502, 503 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986) (<HOLDING>); Robinson v. Allstate Ins. Co., 417 So.2d 778,
