ORDER OVERRULING PLAINTIFF'S OBJECTION TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S RULING

Blackburn, J.

The matter before me is Plaintiff's Objection to Magistrate Judge's Ruling [#63],¹ filed October 22, 2015, challenging the magistrate judge's Order [#50], filed October 9, 2015, granting Defendant Theresa Pedley Cooper's Motion for Extension of Time Out of Time in Which To File Responsive Pleading [#46], filed October 9, 2015. I overrule the objection.

1 "[#63]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's case management and electronic case filing system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order. --------

Plaintiff's objections pertain to non-dispositive matters that were referred to the magistrate judge for resolution. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a), I may modify or set aside any portion of a magistrate judge's order which I find to be clearly erroneous or contrary to law. Moreover, because plaintiff is proceeding pro se, I have reviewed his filings more liberally than pleadings or papers filed by attorneys. See , e.g., Erickson v. Pardus , 551 U.S. 89, 94, 127 S.Ct. 2197, 2200, 167 L.Ed.2d 1081 (2007); Haines v. Kerner , 404 U.S. 519, 520-21, 92 S.Ct. 594, 596, 30 L.Ed.2d 652 (1972); Andrews v. Heaton , 483 F.3d 1070, 1076 (10^th Cir. 2007); Hall v. Bellmon , 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 (10^th Cir. 1991).

Having reviewed the apposite order, as further expatiated by the magistrate judge's written Order Regarding Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration [#66], filed October 26, 2015, I find and conclude that the magistrate judge's order is not clearly erroneous or contrary to law.

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's Objection to Magistrate Judge's Ruling [#63], filed October 22, 2015, is overruled.

Dated November 9, 2015, at Denver, Colorado.

BY THE COURT:
