RYAN, Circuit Judge.

This is an appeal by nonparty appellant Alex Young from civil contempt orders entered after he refused to produce a list of members of a Ku Klux Klan group, 110 F.R.D. 232. Plaintiffs Robert and Martha Marshall sought the list as a part of the discovery process in their civil rights case against those who twice firebombed their home.1 We affirm the contempt orders.
