IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Judge Robert E. Blackburn Civil Case No. 08-cv-01052-REB-MJW JOE DOUGLAS, Plaintiff, v. INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MACHINISTS AND AEROSPACE WORKERS, DISTRICT LODGE 141, a/k/a IAMAW ROCKY MOUNTAIN AIRCRAFT LODGE 1886, Defendant. ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS UNDER FED. R. CIV. P. 72 Blackburn, J. This matter is before me on the plaintiff's Objection To Minute Order Under Rule 46 - Federal Rules Civil Procedure [#48]1 filed July 29, 2009. The defendant filed a response [#55] to the objection and the plaintiff filed a reply [#56]. The plaintiff objects to the magistrate judge's order [#47] denying the plaintiff's request for appointment of counsel. The plaintiff's objections are subject to review under the standards provided in 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b) and FED. R. CIV. P. 72 (a). Under § 636(b) and Rule 72(a), I may modify or set aside any portion of a magistrate judge's order which I find to be "clearly erroneous or contrary to law." I have reviewed carefully the magistrate judge's order, the plaintiff's objections, the defendant's response, and the plaintiff's reply. I conclude
"[#48]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's case management and electronic case filing system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.

that the order of the magistrate judge is not clearly erroneous or contrary to law, and I overrule the plaintiff's objections. THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the plaintiff's Objection To Minute Order Under Rule 46 - Federal Rules Civil Procedure [#48] filed July 29, 2009, is OVERRULED. Dated September 17, 2009, at Denver, Colorado. BY THE COURT:
