SUSAN RICHARD NELSON, United States District Judge
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff Brock Fredin’s Motion for Leave to File
a Reply (17-cv-3058 [Doc. No. 159]/18-cv-466 [Doc. No. 151]), in connection with his
Objection to the May 18, 2020 Order of Magistrate Judge Bowbeer awarding sanctions.
The May 18, 2020 Order addressed non-dispositive issues.
The Local Rules do not contemplate the filing of a reply in support of a nondispositive motion, absent permission of the Court, (D. Minn. L.R. 7.1.(b)(3)), nor do they
contemplate the filing of a reply when seeking the review of a magistrate judge’s ruling on
non-dispositive matters. (D. Minn. L.R. 72.2.) The briefing on Fredin’s Objection is
sufficient for the Court to rule. Accordingly, his Motion for Leave to File a Reply/SurReply is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 8, 2020
