RALPH B. GUY, JR., Circuit Judge. Plaintiffs, Cheryl and Gerry Coleman, appeal the district court's dismissal of their negligence action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). The court dismissed their claim against the American Red Cross because it found that they had violated a discovery protective order. The plaintiffs also contend on appeal that the district court erred: (1) in applying the wrong standard to preclude the discovery of relevant information; and (2) in prohibiting the plaintiffs from obtaining discovery of documents located at the Red Cross' national headquarters. For the reasons discussed below, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
