Counterclaim Plaintiff.

Carrie L. Hund, Edward F. Fox, and Peter L. Gregory, Bassford Remele, PA,

P.A., Counsel for Defendant and Counterclaim Plaintiff Thomas M. Tormey, Jr.
and Counterclaim Plaintiff Tormedco, Inc.

The above-entitled matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s objections
to Magistrate Judge Tony N. Leung’s March 25, 2013 Order denying Plaintiff’s
Motion for Sanctions against Defendant and Counterclaim Plaintiff Thomas M.
Tormey and Counterclaim Plaintiff Tormedco, Inc. for failing to comply with a
discovery order and for fabricating evidence. [Docket No. 153] The Court has
1

carefully considered the entire record in this matter and concluded that oral
argument is unnecessary.
This Court will reverse a Magistrate Judge’s order on a nondispositive
issue only if that order is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1)(A); D. Minn. L.R. 72.2(a). This Court has reviewed the submissions
and the record in this case and concludes that Magistrate Judge Leung’s March
25, 2013 Order is neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law. Therefore, the
March 25, 2013 Order is affirmed.
Accordingly, based upon the files, records, and proceedings herein, IT IS
HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Magistrate Judge Leung’s March 25, 2013 Order is AFFIRMED.
2. Plaintiff’s objections [Docket No. 154] are DENIED.
