PER CURIAM:
Samuel K. Jacobs and Nancy Heckerman (“Appellants”)
appeal the district court’s judgment granting the Appellees’ motion
to dismiss and entering a judgment in the Appellees’ favor on their
breach of contract claim and granting the Appellees’ motion for
sanctions. We have reviewed the record and affirm. Insofar as the
Appellants challenge the order denying their motion for a
continuance and the order compelling discovery, the orders are not
reviewable. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); Sunview Condominium
Ass’n v. Flexel Intern., Ltd., 116 F.3d 962, 964-65 (1st Cir.
1997). With respect to the Appellants’ claim they were denied
their Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial, we find any error is
harmless as their complaint was dismissed on the Appellees’ motion
to dismiss, obviating the need for a trial. Finally, there was no
error in the district court’s order referring the motion for a
change of magistrate judge to the magistrate judge. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 144 (2000).
Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
