Pursuant to E.D. Local Rule 72-303(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 March 1, 2006, is

affirmed. 

DATED: June 1, 2006
