INDEPENDENT INVESTOR PROTECTIVE LEAGUE, Martin F. Randolph, Jr., Gary Michael and Michael Fagan, Plaintiffs-Appellants, and I. Walton BADER, Appellant, v. TOUCHE ROSS & COMPANY, Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.

Decided April 4, 1978.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

I. Walton Bader, White Plains, N.Y. (Bader & Bader, White Plains, N.Y., on the brief), for plaintiffs-appellants and appellant Bader pro se.

Gerald Walpin, New York City (James K. Nevling, Jr., and Rosenman, Colin, Freund, Lewis & Cohen, New York City, on the brief), for defendant-appellee Touche Ross & Co.

Before MOORE, FRIENDLY and TIMBERS, Circuit Judges.


TIMBERS, Circuit Judge:

The narrow issue on this appeal is whether the district court, in imposing sanctions under Fed.R.Civ.P. 37 against plaintiffs and their counsel for failure to comply with an order requiring service of answers to interrogatories by a specified date, abused its discretion. We hold that the district court acted well within its discretion under the particular circumstances of this case. We affirm.

I.
