ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the Magistrate Judge's Findings, Recommendations and Orders of February 7, 2018 (filing 51) and the defendant's pro se objection (filing 68). The Court has conducted a de novo review of the Magistrate Judge's findings and recommendations regarding the defendant's motions to suppress and motions to dismiss, see filing 50, and agrees with the Magistrate Judge's conclusion that those motions lack merit. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); Branch v. Martin, 886 F.2d 1043, 1045-46 (8th Cir. 1989). The Court has reviewed the balance of the Magistrate Judge's orders on nondispositive matters, and finds that they were neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A); Ferguson v. United States, 484 F.3d 1068, 1076 (8th Cir. 2007). Accordingly, the findings and recommendations (filing 51) will be adopted and the defendant's objection (filing 68) will be overruled.

The Court has also reviewed the defendant's pro se objection (filing 53) to the Magistrate Judge's order of January 23, 2018 (filing 46) regarding discovery issues. Having reviewed that order, the Court finds that it was neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law. See § 636(b)(1)(A); Ferguson, 484 F.3d at 1076.1 In addition, the discovery issues presented have largely been mooted by appointment of defense counsel. See filing 87. Accordingly, the defendant's objection (filing 53) will be overruled.

IT IS ORDERED:

1. The defendant's objection (filing 53) is overruled. 2. The Magistrate Judge's findings and recommendations (filing 51) are adopted. 3. The defendant's objection (filing 68) is overruled.

FootNotes


1. Although the defendant's objection seeks suppression of evidence, filing 53 at 2, no motion to suppress was before the Magistrate Judge, see filing 45. The Magistrate Judge's order addressed only nondispositive matters, so the Court's standard of review is deferential.
