2017A dismissal under AR.S. § 12-2603 is not a sanction for a discovery violation, but a substantive pleading failure, Boswell v. Fintelmann, 242 Ariz. 52 , 54 ¶ 5, 392 P.3d 496, 498 (App. 2017), because the statute is “meant to certify that the action ... is not meritless,” Jilly v. Bayes, 221 Ariz. 40 , 43 ¶ 6, 209 P.3d 176, 179 (App. 2009). ¶ 11 We acknowledge, however, that another panel of this Court has held that a dismissal under A.R.S. § 12-2603 is for failure to prosecute.
