HARTFORD CASUALTY INSURANCE 

COMPANY,

Plaintiff,

v.

FIREMAN'S FUND INSURANCE 

COMPANY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-02592-SI 

ORDER ON JUDICIAL NOTICE

Re: Dkt. No. 45

Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company filed a motion to dismiss Hartford Casualty Insurance 

Company’s second amended complaint (“SAC”). See Dkt. 44. In support of its motion Fireman’s 

filed a request for judicial notice. Dkt. 45. Fireman’s requests that the Court take judicial notice 

of a certified copy of the Limited Liability Company Articles of Incorporation of Herndon 

Partners, LLC, filed in the office of the Secretary of State of California on April 9, 2003. See id. 

Federal Rule of Evidence 201 permits a court to take judicial notice of facts “not subject to 

reasonable dispute . . . .” Fed. R. Evid. 201. While “a court may take judicial notice of the 

existence of matters of public record, such as a prior order or decision,” it should not take notice of 

“the truth of the facts cited therein.” Marsh v. San Diego Cnty., 432 F. Supp. 2d 1035, 1043 (S.D.

Cal. 2006) (citations omitted). This Court will accordingly take judicial notice of the existence of 

this filing, as it is not subject to reasonable dispute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 13, 2016
