Accordingly, Ballard’s motion for preliminary injunctive relief (Doc. 39) is DENIED. The objection also takes issue with the Magistrate Judge’s denial (Doc. 7) of Ballard’s motion to appoint counsel (Doc. 3). Doc. 62 at 1. “A judge of the court may reconsider any pretrial matter under this subparagraph (A) where it has been shown that the magistrate judge’s order is clearly erroneous or contrary to law.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A); see also Brown v.
