Duane and Mary Kuyper appeal the district court’s 1 entry of default judgment against them as a sanction for failing to appear at their noticed depositions. Following careful review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that, for the reasons explained in the district court’s order, the court did not abuse its discretion. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 37(d); Int’I Bhd. of Elec. Workers, Local Union No. 545 v. Hope Elec. Corp., 380 F.3d 1084, 1105 (8th Cir. 2004) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
