PER CURIAM.
Emmett Mitchell appeals the district court's1 dismissal with
prejudice of his discrimination action for his repeated failure to
attend his deposition. Having reviewed the record and the parties'
briefs, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in dismissing Mitchell's action pursuant to Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 37(d). See Boogaerts v. Bank of Bradley, 961
F.2d 765, 768 (8th Cir. 1992) (per curiam); Anderson v. Home Ins.
Co., 724 F.2d 82, 84 (8th Cir. 1983). Accordingly, we affirm. See
8th Cir. R. 47B.
