1Opinion of the Court
WM. C. HETHERINGTON, JR., Judge.
T1 Rock Oil Company and its partners Darryl K. Simmons and Paul A. Franks (collectively, Rock Oil) appeal denial of its motion for an award of attorney fees and costs in discovery sanction proceedings. 1 Following review of the facts and law, we conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying such an award after finding Richard C. Barnett (Barnett) was substantially justified in his actions and the imposition of such an award would be unjust. The order denying Rock Oil an award of attorney fees and costs is AFFIRMED. ©
