Head Matter:
Joseph MAZER, Appellant, v. JEFFERSON STORES, INC., a Delaware corporation, Appellee.
No. 81-1332.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
April 20, 1982.
Shelding Golding, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.
Fuller & Feingold and Lawrence A. Fuller, Miami Beach, for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ and DANIEL S. PEARSON and FERGUSON, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The trial court has the inherent power to impose the sanction of dismissal for a plaintiff's willful failure to comply with its order, the lawfulness of which was challenged only by plaintiff's adamant refusal to answer certain questions on deposition. See Surrency v. Winn & Lovett Grocery Company, 160 Fla. 294, 34 So.2d 564 (1948); Warriner v. Ferraro, 177 So.2d 723 (Fla. 3d DCA 1965).
Affirmed.
