““The court has inherent power, so long as it retains control of the subject matter and of the parties, to correct that which has been wrongly done by virtue of its process. Gumbel v. Pitkin, 124 U.S. 131, 144 , 8 S.Ct. 379 , 31 L.Ed. 374 ; 14 Am.Jur., Courts, Section 171; Arkadelphia Milling Co. v. St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company, 249 U.S. 134 , 39 S.Ct. 237 , 63 L.Ed. 517 . The court has inherent power to punish abuse of its process by dismissal of an action in the interest of orderly administration of justice.””
