UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN JOSE DIVISION

MELINA RAZAVI, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

BENDORF DR. APTS., et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 16-cv-01388-BLF 

ORDER STRIKING REQUESTS FOR 

JUDICIAL NOTICE 

On January 12, 2017, Defendants Santa Clara County Housing Authority and Bendorf Dr. 

Apartments filed two requests for judicial notice of Plaintiff Melina Razavi’s vexatious litigant 

status. ECF 25, 26. These two requests are identical to a prior request for judicial notice that the 

Court has already struck. ECF 23, 24. In these requests for judicial notice, Defendants also 

request that the proceedings be stayed pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 

391.7(c). However, section 391.7(c) is a state statute designed to protect California state courts 

from vexatious litigation and does not apply to federal court proceedings in this District. See

Donovan v. City of Dallas, 377 U.S. 408, 412 (1964); Johnson v. Univ. Hous., No. 2:06-628, 2007 

WL 4303728, at *12 (S.D. Ohio Dec. 10, 2007). The Court thus DENIES the request to stay the 

action on this basis. 

The Court further DENIES the requests for judicial notice because they were not filed with 

an underlying motion or a request for relief. The notices filed thus have no force or effect here. If 

Defendants seek to stay this action or an order declaring Plaintiff a vexatious litigant, Defendants 

need to file a noticed motion in accordance with Civ. L.R. 7-2. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: January 13, 2017
