   MEMORANDUM

Marc Dagupion appeals the orders of the district court awarding discovery sanctions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37 and denying his motion to reconsider. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by awarding sanctions or denying Dagupion’s subsequent motion to reconsider. See SEC v. Platforms Wireless Int’l Corp., 617 F.3d 1072, 1100 (9th Cir.2010); Conn. Gen. Life Ins. Co. v. New Images of Beverly Hills, 482 F.3d 1091, 1096 (9th Cir.2007). The court properly awarded “reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees” under Rule 37(b)(2)(C) following Da-gupion’s failure to attend his court-ordered deposition on November 2, 2011. Dagu-pion’s argument that he was excused from attending the deposition based on the representations of opposing counsel is not supported by the record.

The defendants provided a detailed account of their fees and costs resulting from the failure to attend, and the court awarded a reasonable sum. In moving for reconsideration, Dagupion did not present any newly discovered evidence, show that the district court’s decision was clear error or manifestly unjust or demonstrate an intervening change in controlling law. See Platforms Wireless, 617 F.3d at 1100.

AFFIRMED.
