1Opinion of the Court
TROTT, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal, we must decide whether the district court abused its discretion by ordering default judgment against a party on the basis of the party’s repeated, persistent refusal to follow court orders. Our jurisdiction over this appeal derives from 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
