IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THE O. N. EQUITY SALES COMPANY,

Plaintiff,

 v.

DANIEL MARIA CUI,

Defendant. /

No. C 07-02844 JSW

ORDER DENYING OBJECTION

AND AFFIRMING THE

DISCOVERY ORDER 

Now before the Court are the objections filed by plaintiff O.N. Equity Sales Company

(“ONESCO”) to Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James’ Discovery Order dated October 19, 2007

(the “Discovery Order”). Having carefully reviewed the parties’ papers and considered their

arguments and the relevant legal authority, and good cause appearing, the Court hereby

DENIES ONESCO’s objections and AFFIRMS the Discovery Order.

The District Court may modify or set aside any portion of a magistrate’s ruling on nondispositive pre-trial motions found to be “clearly erroneous or contrary to law.” Fed. R. Civ. P.

72(a); see also, e.g., Grimes v. City and County of San Francisco, 951 F.2d 236, 241 (9th Cir.

1991). A ruling is clearly erroneous if the reviewing court, after considering the evidence, is

left with the “definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed.” United States v.

U.S. Gypsum Co., 333 U.S. 364, 395 (1948).

After a careful review of the Discovery Order, this Court finds that the Judge James’

ruling was not clearly erroneous or contrary to law. Therefore, this Court DENIES ONESCO’s

Objections and AFFIRMS the Discovery Order dated October 19, 2007.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
