UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RODNEY WAYNE JONES, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

C. W. McELROY, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:13-cv-1375 GEB CKD P 

ORDER 

 On September 9, 2015, plaintiff filed a request for reconsideration of the magistrate 

judge’s order filed August 31, 2015, granting and denying in part defendants’ motion to compel 

and denying plaintiff’s motion for protective order. (ECF No. 77.) 

 Plaintiff asks the Court to consider his opposition to defendants’ motion to compel (ECF 

No. 75), constructively filed and docketed after the deadline for responding to defendants’ 

motion. See L.R. 230(l). He similarly asks the court to consider his reply in support of a 

protective order (ECF No. 76), which was constructively filed and docketed after the deadline to 

reply. See id. Plaintiff states that, through no fault of his own, his receipt of defendants’ filings 

on paper has been delayed, causing delays in his responses. (ECF No. 77.) 

 The Court has reviewed plaintiff’s recent filings, in which he continues to object to 

defendants’ presence at his deposition. Pursuant to E.D. Local Rule 303(f), a magistrate judge’s 

orders shall be upheld unless “clearly erroneous or contrary to law.” Upon review of the entire

file, the court finds that it does not appear that the magistrate judge’s ruling was clearly erroneous 

or contrary to law. 

 Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, upon reconsideration, the order of the 

magistrate judge filed August 31, 2015 is affirmed. 

Dated: September 15, 2015
