Judge J. Ronnie Greer

ORDER
This multi-district antitrust case is before the Court to consider the limited appeal of
Southern Marketing Agency, Inc. and James Baird, [Doc. 1204], of the Magistrate Judge’s order
dated December 8, 2010, which denied the defendants’ motion to re-depose Gordon Rausser and
Frank Scott. Although these defendants contend that the Magistrate Judge did not address their
request to depose these experts, in fact, the Magistrate Judge acknowledges that the defendants seek
to re-depose Rausser and Scott, and denied the defendants’ motion “in its entirety.”
After careful consideration of the Magistrate Judge’s order, the Court finds that the
Magistrate Judge’s order is not clearly erroneous, an abuse of discretion, or contrary to law. Fed.
R.Civ. P. 72(a).

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED

that the defendants’ appeal is

OVERRULED and the Magistrate's order is ADOPTED and AFFIRMED, [Doc. 1184].
So ordered.
