No. 2:17-cv-0319 JAM AC P

Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

J. PICKETT, et al.,
Defendant.

16
17

Plaintiff has filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s order filed June 15, 2021 (ECF No.

18

156). ECF No. 164. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(a) permits a party to object to non-

19

dispositive orders issued by magistrate judges and requires that the district judge “modify or set

20

aside any part of the order that is clearly erroneous or is contrary to law.” Plaintiff’s objections,

21

which outline his many issues with discovery, have no bearing on the appropriateness of the

22

Magistrate Judge’s order granting defendants’ motion to seal and therefore fail to demonstrate

23

that the order was clearly erroneous or contrary to law.

24
25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s objections are overruled and the
June 15, 2021 Order is affirmed.
