No. CV 05-02913 NJV

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’

REQUEST FOR JUDICIAL NOTICE

(Doc. No. 287)

Defendants have requested that the Court take judicial notice of 15 Cal. Code of Regulations

§§ 3084.1 and 3084.6 (Docket No. 287). Plaintiff has not filed an opposition. Under Federal Rule

of Evidence 201, “[a] judicially noticed fact must be one not subject to reasonable dispute in that it

is either (1) generally known within the territorial jurisdiction of the trial court or (2) capable of

accurate and ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be

questioned.” Fed. R. Evid. 201(b). Without addressing whether it is necessary to request judicial

notice of state statutes or regulations, the Court finds that the documents at issue meet the

requirements of Rule 201, and Defendants’ request for judicial notice is GRANTED. See U.S. v.

Garcia, 555 F.2d 708, 711 (9th Cir. 1977) (court may properly take judicial notice of state law).
