ORDER
PATRICK J. SCHILTZ, District Judge.
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff Keith Crow's objection to the December 5, 2013 order of Magistrate Judge Franklin L. Noel. In that order, Judge Noel (1) denied Crow's motion to file a second amended complaint [ECF No. 59], (2) denied Crow's motion to compel interrogatory responses from defendant Doctor Craane [ECF No. 96], and (3) denied Crow's eighth motion to appoint counsel [ECF No. 122]. See ECF No. 140. A magistrate judge's ruling on nondispositive pretrial matters may be reversed only if it is "clearly erroneous or contrary to law." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a). Judge Noel's order was neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law: Crow's motion to amend the complaint was both untimely and futile; his motion to compel interrogatory responses from Craane is now moot because all claims against Craane have been dismissed; and Crow's eighth motion to appoint counsel had no more merit than his seven prior motions. Accordingly, Crow's objection to Judge Noel's order is overruled.
ORDER
Based on the foregoing, and on all of the files, records, and proceedings herein, the Court OVERRULES plaintiff Keith Crow's objection [ECF No. 155] and AFFIRMS the December 5, 2013 order [ECF No. 140].
