IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON
WILLIAM ALBERT HAYNES III,
individually and on behalf of
all others similarly situated,
3:14-cv-01689-ST
ORDER
Plaintiff,
v.
WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT,
INC. I
Defendant.
BROWN, Judge.
On June 25, 2015, Magistrate Judge Janice M. Stewart issued
an Opinion and Order (#59) granting Defendant's Motion (#47) to
Transfer Venue.
(#61)
On July 9, 2015, Plaintiff filed Objections
to Magistrate Judge's Order.
The matter is now before this
Court pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(a).
In accordance with Rule. 72(a), "[w]hen a pretrial matter not
dispositive of a party's claim or defense is referred to a
magistrate judge to hear and decide, the magistrate judge must
promptly conduct the required proceedings and, when appropriate,
1 - ORDER
issue a written order stating the decision."
The standard of
review for an order with objections is ''clearly erroneous" or
"contrary to law."
See also 28 U.S.C.
§
636(b)(l)(A)(applying
the "clearly erroneous or contrary to law" standard of review for
nondispositive motions).
If a ruling on a motion is not
determinative of "a party's claim or defense," it is not
dispositive and, therefore, is not subject to the de nova review
that is required for proposed findings and recommendations that
address dispositive motions.
See 28 U.S.C.
§
636(b) (1) (B).
This Court has carefully considered the Objections of
Plaintiff and concludes they do not provide a basis to modify the
Magistrate Judge's Order.
This Court also has reviewed the
pertinent portions of the record de nova and does not find any
error.
CONCLUSION
The Court AFFIRMS Magistrate Judge Stewart's Opinion and
Order (#59) granting Defendant's Motion (#47) to Transfer Venue.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 27th day of July, 2015.
