UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA American Medical Systems, Inc., and Laserscope, Plaintiffs, v. Laser Peripherals, LLC, Defendant. This case is before the Court on the objections of American Medical Systems, Inc., and Laserscope (collectively, Plaintiffs) to an Order issued by the Honorable Franklin L. Noel, United States Magistrate Judge, on August 21, 2009, denying Plaintiffs' motion to compel or, in the alternative, for leave to supplement their claim charts. Laser Peripherals, LLC, responded to Plaintiffs' objections. Having reviewed the record, the Court affirms the magistrate judge's Order because it is neither "clearly erroneous" nor "contrary to law." See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); D. Minn. LR 72.2(a). Therefore, IT IS ORDERED THAT: 1. 2. Plaintiffs' objections to the magistrate judge's August 21 Order [Docket No. 156] are OVERRULED. The magistrate judge's August 21 Order [Docket No. 147] is AFFIRMED. s/ Joan N. Ericksen JOAN N. ERICKSEN United States District Judge Civil No. 08-4798 (JNE/FLN) ORDER
