Before WOLLMAN, COLLOTON, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                        ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Raymond Setzke appeals the district court’s1 dismissal without prejudice of his
42 U.S.C. § 1983 action after he failed to appear for two scheduled depositions. We
see no abuse of discretion in the district court’s dismissal of the action. See Doe v.
Cassel, 

, 990 (8th Cir. 2005) (per curiam) (Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b)
dismissal); Boogaerts v. Bank of Bradley, 

, 768 (8th Cir. 1992) (per
curiam) (Fed. R. Civ. P. 37 dismissal). Setzke admitted to defense counsel by
telephone that he received notice of the first deposition, the court warned him that
failure to attend the second deposition could result in dismissal, and defendants
produced unrebutted proof that they properly noticed the second deposition. See Aziz
v. Wright, 

, 588-89 (8th Cir. 1994) (affirming dismissal under Rule 41(b)
for plaintiff’s failure to comply with court order allowing deposition). We also see
no abuse of discretion in the award of reasonable costs to defendants. See Fed. R. Civ.
P. 37(d) (court shall require party failing to attend own deposition to pay “reasonable
expenses, including attorney’s fees, caused by the failure”); Ranger Transp., Inc. v.
Wal-Mart Stores, 

, 1188 (8th Cir. 1990) (per curiam) (standard of
review).

      Accordingly, we affirm.
                         _________________________
