On October 14, 2014, Plaintiff Rohini Kumar filed his Motion for Relief from Non-

13

Dispositive Pre-Trial Order of Magistrate Judge Nathanael M. Cousins (“Motion for Relief”),

14

specifically Magistrate Judge Cousins’ Order Granting Defendant’s Request for Temporary Stay

15

of Discovery (Dkt. No. 31). The Court, having carefully reviewed Plaintiff’s Motion for Relief

16

and documents submitted in support thereof, as well as the underlying Order of Magistrate Judge

17

Cousins, DENIES the Motion for Relief.

18

A non-dispositive order of a magistrate judge is reviewed by the District Court under the

19

clearly erroneous or contrary to law standard. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A).

20

Plaintiff has not demonstrated that the Order Granting Defendant’s Request for Temporary Stay of

21

Discovery issued by Magistrate Judge Cousins is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. The Court

22

has not yet ruled on Defendant’s motion to dismiss, which the Court took under submission on

23

September 30, 2014.
