NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

It is up to the judge in your case to decide upon the sanctions that will be granted. It may be as simple as requiring you to file the discovery within a certain timeframe or as severe as a possible incarceration until you cure your discovery. More than likely, you will be required to pay a reasonable attorney's fee for the bringing of the motion for contempt and resulting writ if you agree to cure your failure to file.

Re: Writ of bodily attachment

Typically, you are arrested and brought into jail and the attorney is advised that you are there so that he can depose you. You may face fines and attorneys fees. After you comply with the discovery request, you are released.
