MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
J. PHIL GILBERT, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff Marc Norfleet's motion for reconsideration and objection (Doc. 102) to Magistrate Judge Philip M. Frazier's February 5, 2015, order (Doc. 100) denying Norfleet's motion for appointment of counsel (Doc. 94).
A district court reviewing a magistrate judge's decision on nondispositive issues should modify or set aside that decision if it is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A). The Court may also sua sponte reconsider any matter determined by a magistrate judge. L.R. 73.1(a); Schur v. L.A. Weight Loss Ctrs., Inc., 577 F.3d 752, 760 (7th Cir. 2009).
The Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Frazier's order as well as Norfleet's motion for appointment of counsel and finds the order is not clearly erroneous or contrary to law. Further, the Court declines to reconsider the order. For these reasons, the Court:
• AFFIRMS Magistrate Judge Frazier's February 5, 2015, order denying Norfleet's motion for appointment of counsel (Doc. 100); and
• OVERRULES Norfleet's objection (Doc. 102).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
