Plaintiff,
ORDER
vs.
AMGEN, INC., et al.,
Defendants.
This matter is before the Court on attorney Keith L. Altman's objection
to the Magistrate Judge's May 30, 2017 Memorandum and Order granting in
part the defendants' motion for sanctions. See, filing 163; filing 129. Having
conducted a de novo review of the record pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1)(C),1 the Court finds that the Magistrate Judge's findings and
recommendation were correct in all respects. Accordingly, Altman's objection
(filing 164) is overruled.
IT IS ORDERED:
1.

1

Altman's objection (filing 164) is overruled.

The parties cite clear error as the appropriate standard of review. Filing 164 at 2-3; filing

166 at 16; see also, Aviva Sports, Inc. v. Fingerhut Direct Marketing, Inc., 2013 WL
1867555, at *1 (D. Minn. 2013); Temple v. WISAP, 152 F.R.D. 591, 596 (D. Neb. 1993).
However, given the amount of sanctions awarded, the Court has reviewed the record de
novo.

2.

Altman is ordered to pay the defendants the sum of
$25,665.00 on or before August 17, 2017.

Dated this 17th day of July, 2017.
