Plaintiff,

Case No. 12-10274
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH

v.
SECURE CROSSING RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT, INCORPORATED,
Defendant.
__________________________________/
ORDER OVERRULING DEFENDANT’S OBJECTIONS (#85, #86)
Presently before the court are defendant’s objections to Magistrate Judge Majzoub’s
order granting plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery (#85) and to Magistrate Judge
Majzoub’s order denying defendant’s motion to quash (#86). The court has reviewed the
relevant papers and believes defendant’s arguments are without merit. 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1)(A) provides that a district judge may reconsider a non-dispositive order from a
magistrate judge “where it has been shown that the magistrate judge’s order is clearly
erroneous or contrary to law.” Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(a) provides that a district
judge “must consider timely objections [to a non-dispositive order] and modify or set aside
any part of the order that is clearly erroneous or is contrary to law.” Because defendant
has failed to show that Magistrate Judge Majzoub’s orders are clearly erroneous or
contrary to law, this court OVERRULES defendant’s objections.
SO ORDERED.
