MARCIE MEYER and MICHAEL

Plaintiffs,

MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

v.
CURRIE TECH CORP. and ACCELL
NORTH AMERICA, INC.,
Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on defendants Currie Tech Corp. and Accell North
America, Inc.’s (collectively, “Currie”) objection (Filing No. 134) to the December 6,
2018, Order of the magistrate judge1 (Filing No. 133) granting plaintiffs Marcie and
Michael Meyer (the “Meyers”) leave to conduct limited depositions of two previously
deposed witnesses. Currie contends the magistrate judge erroneously concluded that “new
information” provided by several Currie witnesses warranted supplemental depositions.
According to Currie, those depositions are “cumulative, duplicative, and unreasonably
burdensome.” Currie requests that the Court reverse the magistrate judge’s order.
The Meyers respond (Filing No. 136) that the supplemental depositions are
necessary “to clarify very limited, but important facts.”
Upon careful review, the Court finds Currie’s request for reversal (Filing No. 134)
should be denied. Currie has not “shown that the magistrate judge’s order is clearly
erroneous or contrary to law.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) (standard of review). The
magistrate judge’s order (Filing No. 133) is affirmed.

The Honorable Susan M. Bazis, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of
Nebraska.
