Dkt. Nos. 1490, 1491

On September 29, 2016, Plaintiffs Microsoft Mobile Inc. and Microsoft Mobile Oy

13

(collectively “Microsoft”), filed a Motion for Relief from Non-Dispositive Pretrial Order (Dkt. No.

14

1491), seeking relief from Magistrate Judge Ryu’s order denying Microsoft’s Motion Regarding

15

De-Designation of Documents (Dkt No. 1457).

16

The Court has considered the papers submitted in support of the motion and in opposition.

17

The Court finds that Microsoft has not satisfied its burden under Rule 72(a) of Federal Rules of

18

Civil Procedure to show that Magistrate Judge Ryu’s findings are “clearly erroneous or [] contrary

19

to law.” Consequently, Microsoft’s Motion for Relief from Non-Dispositive Order is DENIED.

20

The motion to seal (Dkt. No. 1490) filed in connection with the Motion for Relief from

21

Non-Dispositive Order is GRANTED. The documents are appropriate for sealing under the liberal

22

standard applicable to non-dispositive motions.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED. This order terminates Dkt. Nos. 1490 and 1491.
