Very general questions with no facts of the case, what happened, no history of the case.
Answer: First Question: Late filings can be struck, you need to comply with deadlines. That is within the discretion of the judge.
Answer: Second Question: No

typo in my answer to second question.
Again, no facts of the case. You would have to prove that the attorney mislead the court, and the court could take action in the case or the state bar. Be careful to not make any unfounded claim.
