NO. C 06-04327 JW 

ORDER RE: FURTHER BRIEFING

REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S OBJECTION

TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S RULING

Presently before the Court is Lead Plaintiff’s Objections to Magistrate Judge Trumbull’s

Order Granting Ernst & Young LLP’s Motion for Protective Order Without Prejudice to Lead

Plaintiff Moving for Relief from the Discovery Cutoff and, in the Alternative, its Motion for an

Extension of Merits Discovery. (hereafter, “Objection,” Docket Item No. 586.)

On March 1, 2010, Magistrate Judge Trumbull granted Defendant Ernst & Young LLP’s

Motion for Protective Order, noting that “[d]iscovery in this case is closed, and Lead Plaintiff has

not obtained relief from the discovery cutoff to take the subject depositions.” (See Docket Item No.

572.) Plaintiff contends that the Court should extend discovery so that Plaintiff can complete

outstanding discovery and any further discovery that may result from Magistrate Trumbull’s rulings

on several pending discovery motions. (Objection at 1-2.)

A district court may modify a magistrate judge’s ruling on a non-dispositive matter, such as

an order to compel discovery, if the order is “clearly erroneous” or “contrary to law.” 28 U.S.C. §

636(b)(1)(A); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); Bahn v. NME Hospitals, Inc., 929 F.2d 1404, 1414 (9th Cir.

1991). Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 72-2, the court may not grant a motion objecting to a magistrate

judge’s order without first giving the opposing party an opportunity to brief the matter. See Civ.

L.R. 72-2.

Here, the Court finds that it would benefit from a response from Defendant Ernst & Young

LLP. Accordingly, on or before April 9, 2010, Defendant Ernst & Young LLP shall file its

Response, if any, to Plaintiff’s Objection. On or before April 14, 2010, Plaintiff shall file its Reply,

if any.
