Does a motion to amend the analysis of a prior magistrate judge's decision not to approve an application to amend it?

In this case, though, petitioner makes no argument that the prior magistrate judge's decision was clearly erroneous, nor does he identify any new authority or circumstance which might alter the analysis. See Amaimalo v. U.S., 645 F.3d 1042, 1049 (9th Cir. 2011). Instead, he has raised arguments identical to those already considered and denied in the court's June 26, 2012 order, without providing the court with any reason for his renewal of the application. The court accordingly will exercise its discretion to apply the law of the case, and to deny the motion to amend.
