ORDER DENYING WITHOUT
PREJUDICE PLAINTIFF'S MOTION
FOR RELIEF FROM NONDISPOSITIVE
PRETRIAL ORDER OF MAGISTRATE
JUDGE
Re: Dkt. No. 852
14
15
Before the Court is plaintiff’s Motion for Relief from Nondispositive Pretrial Order of
16
Magistrate Judge, filed September 30, 2016, by which plaintiff objects to Magistrate
17
Judge Donna M. Ryu’s order of September 16, 2016, denying plaintiff’s motion for leave
18
to amend its infringement contentions.
19
Plaintiff’s motion for relief is based on evidence not previously submitted to
20
Magistrate Judge Ryu, specifically, (1) a declaration of Dr. Matthew Guthaus, dated
21
September 30, 2016, and (2) an exhibit “providing further detail to” an exhibit previously
22
filed by defendant in support of its opposition to plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend
23
infringement contentions. As a consequence, plaintiff’s motion for relief is, in essence, a
24
motion for reconsideration based on newly-offered evidence.
25
Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion for leave is hereby DENIED, without prejudice to
26
plaintiff’s filing a motion for leave to file a motion for reconsideration, to be presented to
27
Magistrate Judge Ryu. See Civil L.R. 7-9(b)(2).
28
In light of the above, plaintiff’s administrative motion to file exhibits to its motion for
1
relief under seal is hereby DENIED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
