ORDER CONSTRUING PETITIONER’S

MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT PETITION AS

A MOTION FOR JUDICIAL NOTICE

[Doc. #6]

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

MOTION FOR JUDICIAL NOTICE

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On January 27, 2005, Petitioner filed a motion requesting his petition be supplemented to

include an additional case: Board of Pardons v. Allen, 482 U.S. 369 (1987). Because briefing has

concluded in this case and it appears Petitioner merely wishes to notify the Court of the decision and

request that it be considered in the Court’s review of the merits of the petition, the Court hereby

CONSTRUES Petitioner’s request as a motion for judicial notice. 

A court may take judicial notice of court records. See MGIC Indem. Co. v. Weisman, 803

F.2d 500, 505 (9th Cir.1986); United States v. Wilson, 631 F.2d 118, 119 (9th Cir.1980). 

Accordingly, the Court hereby TAKES judicial notice of the Supreme Court’s opinion in Board of

Case 1:05-cv-00042-AWI-GSA Document 35 Filed 07/22/05 Page 1 of 2

Pardons v. Allen, 482 U.S. 369 (1987). However, Petitioner is advised that briefing is concluded in

this matter. The above-noticed case could have and should have been included in the original petition

for writ of habeas corpus. No further attempts to add additional cases or argument will be considered

without a showing of good cause.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
