ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS TO
MAGISTRATE’S MARCH 17, 2011 ORDER
Before the court are Plaintiff’s objections to Magistrate Judge Hluchaniuk’s March 17,
2010 order denying his motion to compel. Defendants did not file a response.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A), this court may modify or set aside any portion of
Magistrate Judge Hluchaniuk’s non-dispositive order that is “clearly erroneous or contrary to
law.” See also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a). Having reviewed Plaintiff’s objections, the underlying
motion, and the applicable legal authority, the court concludes that Magistrate Judge
Hluchaniuk’s decision was not clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s objections to Magistrate Judge
Hluchaniuk’s March 17, 2011 order are OVERRULED.
