Appellant Emma McDonald brought discrimination claims against Appellee Bell-south Telecommunications, Inc. McDonald filed her lawsuit on the last day before the limitations period for her claims expired. McDonald did not have service made on Appellee. Under threat of dismissal for failure to prosecute she ultimately had service made. McDonald did not appear for a noticed deposition. There were no objections filed to the notice. Counsel for Appellee traveled to the out of state deposition only to be subjected to McDonald’s failure to appear. McDonald was then ordered to appear for deposition. She did not appear although aware of the order to appear for deposition. McDonald now complains of the dismissal of her claim for failure to comply with the court’s orders. We find no merit in her claims that the district court abused its, discretion in dismissing her claims. The record reflects a willful and intentional disregard of required appearances for depositions in McDonald’s own lawsuit. No abuse has been shown. We find her argument meritless and her authority inapposite. The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
