Case No.2:12-cv-1080

ERIE INSUANCE PROPERTY & CASUALTY COMPANY, INC., Plaintiff, v. TANIA CRAWFORD, Defendant.
JUDGE EDMUND A. SARGUS, JR.
Magistrate Judge Mark R. Abel
OPINION AND ORDER
Defendant objects to the August 14, 2013, Order, wherein United States Magistrate Judge Mark R. Abel granted Plaintiff's nondispositive motion to quash. (ECF No. 28.) 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A), requires this Court to apply a "clearly erroneous or contrary to law" standard of review for decisions of magistrate judges on nondispositive motions. See also United States v. Raddatz, 447 U.S. 667, 673 (1980); United States v. Curtis, 237 F.3d 598, 603 (6th Cir. 2001).
Here, the Magistrate Judge's decision that Defendant's request for certain discovery is not relevant, nor is it calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, is not clearly erroneous or contrary to law. Consequently, the Court OVERRULES Plaintiff's objection to that decision.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
