United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

COX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

MARKMONITOR, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-mc-80050-SK (HSG)

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

RELIEF

Re: Dkt. No. 15

Pending before the Court is MarkMonitor, Inc.’s motion for relief from a nondispositive 

pretrial order issued by Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim on March 7, 2019 granting Cox 

Communications, Inc.’s motion to compel. See Dkt. No. 15.

A pretrial order by a magistrate judge will be reversed only if it “is clearly erroneous or 

contrary to law.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A). The Court has carefully reviewed Judge Kim’s order, 

MarkMonitor’s motion, and the relevant legal authorities. Judge Kim’s order is well-reasoned and 

thorough. The Court affirms the non-dispositive order because it is not “clearly erroneous or 

contrary to law.” See Grimes v. City & Cty. of San Francisco, 951 F.2d 236, 240 (9th Cir. 1991). 

Accordingly, the Court DENIES MarkMonitor’s motion for relief from Judge Kim’s nondispositive pretrial order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
