the record reveals that the dismissal was in accord with the rules and within the discretion
of the court.
For many months the magistrate judge, district judge, and counsel for Lewis Food
Town patiently and properly sought to obtain from the appellant information supporting
his claim. The Rules of Civil Procedure were followed and appellant was informed of
what was required and what consequences could result from failure to comply. Because
appellant continued to refuse to comply, Rule 37(b)(2)(C) warrants the judgment of
dismissal.
AFFIRMED.
