Case No. 2:13-cv-00271-APG-VCF
ORDER AFFIRMING MAGISTRATE
JUDGE’S ORDER

v.
NYE COUNTY et al.,

8

(Dkt. #47)
Defendants.

9
Plaintiff Hyrum Joseph West filed two discovery-related motions in this case. (Dkt. ##33,
10

36.) Magistrate Judge Ferenbach denied those motions because they were untimely.1 (Dkt. #43.)

11
West objected to Judge Ferenbach’s ruling. (Dkt. #47.) I have reviewed the Objection, Judge
12
Ferenbach’s Order, and the underlying papers. Judge Ferenbach’s Order is not “clearly erroneous
13
or contrary to law.” Local Rule IB 3-1(a); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); U.S. ex rel. Carter v.
14
Halliburton, 266 F.R.D. 130, 132 (E.D. Va. 2010) (“[D]iscovery motions do not dispose of the
15
case before the court and are thus nondispositive within the meaning of Rule 72(a).”). Therefore,
16
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Ferenbach’s Order is affirmed in its
17
entirety, and plaintiff’s Objection (Dkt. #47) is overruled.
