Opinion

McNitt v. BIC Corporation CV-91-98-B 01/22/93

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

Jonathan R. McNitt, et al.

v. Civil No. 91-98-PB

BIC Corporation

O R D E R

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72 (a), a federal

district court may set aside a ruling of a Magistrate Judge if

the court finds the ruling to be "clearly erroneous or contrary

to law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); see also Paqano v. Frank, No.

91-1952, slip op. at 5 (1st Cir. January 13, 1993). Upon review,

the court finds that the Magistrate's Order dated October 29,

1992, did not breach this standard. Accordingly, defendant's

objection to the Magistrate's Order (Document no. 37) is denied.

With respect to the deposition of Leonard Coppetta, the

parties are directed to follow the guidelines established by the

Magistrate's Order. If difficulties emerge during this process

which the parties cannot resolve themselves, the parties should

file appropriate motions with this court. SO ORDERED.

Paul Barbadoro United States District Judge January 22, 1993
