Heading: Discovery Orders Pertaining to Defendants' Depositions

Text: 48 Defendants argue that various orders imposed by the district court should be reversed. After reviewing the record, we find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in entering these orders. Defendants refused to obey court orders, did not seek reconsideration of the magistrate's order of mootness, and did not appear for their deposition on May 14, 1985. The orders denying defendants' motion to vacate and/or quash notice of deposition, denying motion for change of place for taking the deposition, denying motion to stay, granting plaintiff's motion to compel deposition testimony, and awarding attorneys' fees and expenses for plaintiff to travel to Louisiana were all within the discretion of the trial judge. 49
