1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 DATED:

Pursuant to Local Rule 72-303(f), a magistrate judge's orders shall be upheld unless "clearly erroneous or contrary to law." Upon review of the entire file, the court finds that it does not appear that the magistrate judge's ruling was clearly erroneous or contrary to law. In his objections, plaintiff asks for an extension of time in which to file an interlocutory appeal. The court declines to make such an order because none of these rulings are appealable orders. See Sell v. United States, 539 U.S. 166, 176 (2003). In addition, the matters plaintiff seeks to appeal do not present controlling questions of law about which there is substantial difference of opinion and so the court declines to certify them for interlocutory appeal. 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b). Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. Upon reconsideration, the order of the magistrate judge filed September 11, 2009, is affirmed; 2. Plaintiff's request for additional time in which to pursue an interlocutory appeal is denied; and 3. The court declines to certify these issues for interlocutory appeal. January 4, 2010 /s/ John A. Mendez UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
