Rivera v. Nibco, Inc.
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided April 13, 2004No. 02-16532PublishedCited by 211 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
REINHARDT, Circuit Judge:
Defendant NIBCO has brought this interlocutory appeal to challenge the validity of a protective order, fashioned by a federal magistrate and affirmed by the district court. The order prohibits NIBCO from using the discovery process to inquire into the plaintiffs’ immigration status and eligibility for employment. Because NIBCO has failed to demonstrate that the protective order was either clearly erroneous or contrary to law, we affirm the district court’s decision denying reconsideration of the order.
