ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS’
MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM
MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S NONDISPOSITIVE PRE-TRIAL ORDERS
[Re: ECF 86]

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11
12

Before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Motion for Relief from Non-Dispositive Pre-Trial Orders of

13

Magistrate Judge (ECF 82 and ECF 83). ECF 86. A magistrate judge’s non-dispositive pre-trial

14

order may be modified or set aside if it is “clearly erroneous or is contrary to law.” Fed. R. Civ. P.

15

72(a). “[T]he magistrate’s factual determinations are reviewed for clear error, and the magistrate’s

16

legal conclusions are reviewed to determine whether they are contrary to law.” Perry v.

17

Schwarzenegger, 268 F.R.D. 344, 348 (N.D. Cal. 2010).

18

Having reviewed Plaintiffs’ motion and the magistrate judge’s pre-trial orders (ECF 82 and

19

ECF 83), the Court finds no “clear error” in the magistrate judge’s factual determinations and does

20

not find that the magistrate judge’s legal conclusions are “contrary to law.” See Perry, 268 F.R.D.

21

at 348. Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ motion at ECF 86 is hereby DENIED.

22
23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
