v.

ORDER

COMMISSIONER OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
AND REHABILITATION, et al.,

16

Defendants.

17
On September 6, 2017, the magistrate judge issued an order dismissing plaintiff’s first

18
19

amended complaint with leave to amend. ECF No. 31. Plaintiff has now filed objections to that

20

order. ECF No. 32. When a party objects to a magistrate judge’s order, the order shall be upheld

21

unless it is “clearly erroneous or is contrary to law.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); L.R. 303(f). Upon

22

review of the entire file, the court finds that it does not appear that the magistrate judge’s ruling

23

was clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
