ECF No. 160. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(a) and Local Rule 303(f),2 a magistrate judge's orders shall be upheld unless "clearly erroneous or contrary to law." Upon review of the entire file, the court finds that it does not appear that the magistrate judge's ruling was clearly erroneous or contrary to law.

FootNotes
1. Since plaintiff is proceeding pro se, he is afforded the benefit of the prison mailbox rule. See Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266, 276 (1988).
2. Plaintiff indicates that the motion is brought pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). ECF No. 160. However, Rule 60(b) is for relief "from a final judgment, order, or proceeding." The order denying plaintiff's motion for an expert witness is not such an order.
