ORDER
/

14

On September 30, 2011, plaintiff filed a request for reconsideration of the

15
16

magistrate judge’s order filed September 1, 2011 denying plaintiff’s August 29, 2011 “motion

17

for extension of time to conduct discovery and order defendants to comply with motion to

18

compel discovery order or face sanctions.” Pursuant to E.D. Local Rule 303(f), a magistrate

19

judge’s orders shall be upheld unless “clearly erroneous or contrary to law.” The magistrate

20

judge noted in her Order that plaintiff failed to provide reasons why discovery should be

21

extended. In his motion for reconsideration, plaintiff now seeks to provide reasons, which this

22

court does not find to be compelling. Upon review of the entire file, the court finds that it does

23

not appear that the magistrate judge’s ruling was clearly erroneous or contrary to law.

the magistrate judge filed September 1, 2011, is affirmed.
