Case No. 14-CV-4062-LHK 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

RELIEF FROM NONDISPOSITIVE 

PRETRIAL ORDER OF MAGISTRATE 

JUDGE

Re: Dkt. No. 339

On October 31, 2016, Defendants Two Pic MC LLC, Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC, Pixar, and The 

Walt Disney Company (collectively, “Defendants”), filed a motion for relief from a nondispositive 

pretrial order of Magistrate Judge Howard Lloyd. ECF No. 339. On November 9, 2016, Plaintiffs 

filed a response to the motion. ECF No. 342. 

Having reviewed the order, the briefing of the parties, the record in the case, and the 

relevant law, the Court finds that the nondispositive pretrial order is not “clearly erroneous or 

contrary to law.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A). Therefore, the Court DENIES Defendants’ motion for 

relief.
