ORDER
Plaintiff Atlas Global Technologies LLC ("Atlas Global") previously filed a Motion to Compel. ( Dkt. No. 110). After reviewing the briefing and hearing oral arguments at a hearing on March 1, 2023, Magistrate Judge Payne entered an Order (Dkt. No. 138), granting-in-part Atlas Global’s Motion to Compel. The TP-Link Defendants1 have now filed Objections. (Dkt. No. 152). The sole basis for the TP-Link Defendants’ objections is that the Court erred in finding that “at least one of the TP-Link Defendants has sufficient control over TP-Link USA to gather and produce the requested information.” (Dkt. No. 152 at 2–6; Dkt. No. 138 at 2).2
After reviewing the briefing on the Motion to Compel, Judge Payne’s Order, Atlas Global’s Objections, and the hearing transcript, the Court agrees with the reasoning provided within the Order and the hearing transcript and concludes that the Objections fail to show that the Memorandum Order was clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
2.
Consequently, the Court OVERRULES Atlas Global’s Objections (Dkt. No. 152) and ADOPTS Judge Payne’s Order. (Dkt. No. 138).
So ORDERED and SIGNED this 27th day of March, 2023.
