UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MATTHEW DENNIS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SCOTT KERNAN, et al., 

Defendant. 

No. 2:16-cv-0542 JAM AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff has filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s order filed April 15, 2022. ECF 

No. 205. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(a) permits a party to object to non-dispositive orders 

issued by magistrate judges and requires that the district judge “modify or set aside any part of the 

order that is clearly erroneous or is contrary to law.” Plaintiff’s objections do not establish that 

the order was clearly erroneous or contrary to law. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s objections are overruled and the 

April 15, 2022 Order is affirmed. 

Dated: May 11, 2022 /s/ John A. Mendez 

 THE HONORABLE JOHN A. MENDEZ
