ORDER
Re: Doc. # 72

12
Before the court is Plaintiff's "Motion to Appeal Order" (Doc. # 72).1 The court is treating

13
14

Plaintiff's motion as a motion for the Magistrate Judge to reconsider his Order entered as Doc. # 69.

15

A discovery status conference was conducted on August 18, 2014, primarily as to Plaintiff's

16

"Motion to Inform" and "Motion to Inquire" (Doc. # 81) and Plaintiff's second "Motion to Inform" (Doc.

17

# 86). After addressing the issues raised in these motions, the court inquired of plaintiff whether the

18

disposition of the motions (and certain other matters) resolved the issues presented in Plaintiff's motion

19

to appeal (Doc. # 72). The court reviewed with Plaintiff the subjects of the court's order (Doc. # 69) for

20

which Plaintiff requested reconsideration. Plaintiff stated he believed all of his concerns in his motion

21

(Doc. # 72) have been addressed by the court in its hearing on Plaintiff's motions to inform/inquire and

22

on other matters. After being advised the court would conduct a separate hearing on his motion to

23

compel discovery (Doc. # 66) on Tuesday, August 26, 2014, at 1:30 p.m., Plaintiff requested the court

24

to withdraw his motion to appeal (Doc. # 72). The court canvassed Plaintiff to ensure that his complaints

25

about the court's order (Doc. # 69) have been addressed. Plaintiff again stated his complaints have been

26

resolved and that he wished to withdraw his motion.

2

GRANTED and the motion to appeal order (Doc. # 72) is WITHDRAWN.

3

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: August 20, 2014.
