1Opinion of the Court
MESKILL, Circuit Judge:
This is an appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Patterson, J., citing Guy O. Dove III for contempt of court because of his refusal to comply with a discovery order. Dove contends that the district court had erred in refusing to issue a protective order pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c) and that, therefore, the finding of contempt was erroneous. We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in failing to issue a protective order and thus affirm the order of contempt.
