UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALLSTATE INSURANCE

COMPANY, an Illinois Corporation,

Plaintiff,

CASE No. 12-CV-1248 JLS (BLM)

ORDER: (1) GRANTING

PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR

JUDICIAL NOTICE; AND (2)

GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION TO LIFT STAY

(ECF No. 7)

vs.

ANTONIO OSUNA; CLAUDIA

OSUNA; and MARLA “ROE,”

Defendants.

Presently before the Court is Plaintiff Allstate Insurance Company’s (“Plaintiff”)

Motion to Lift Stay. (ECF No. 7.) Also before the Court is Plaintiff’s Request for

Judicial Notice (“RJN”). (ECF No. 7-2.) Defendants Antonio Osuna, Claudia Osuna,

and Marla “Roe” (collectively, “Defendants”) did not respond to the Motion. Having

reviewed the Motion and the law, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s RJN and GRANTS

Plaintiff’s Motion to Lift Stay.

I. Request for Judicial Notice

Federal Rule of Evidence 201 provides that “[t]he court may judicially notice a

fact that is not subject to reasonable dispute because it: (1) is generally known within

the trial court’s territorial jurisdiction; or (2) can be accurately and readily determined

from sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned.” “Judicially noticed

facts often consist of matters of public record.” Botelho v. U.S. Bank, N.A., 692 F.

Supp. 2d 1174, 1178 (N.D. Cal. 2010) (citations omitted); see also W. Fed. Sav. & Loan

Ass’n v. Heflin Corp., 797 F. Supp. 790, 792 (N.D. Cal. 1992). 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.

Cnty. of San Diego, 432 F. Supp. 2d 1035, 1043 (S.D. Cal. 2006).

Plaintiff asks the Court to judicially notice the following three documents: (1) the

Judgment in Roe v. Osuna, et al., San Diego Superior Court case no. 37-2012-

00091030-CU-PO-CTL (RJN Ex. A, ECF No. 7-3); (2) the Order on Motion for Relief

from Automatic Stay in In re Claudia Osuna, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern

District of California case no. 12-10304-LT7 (“the Bankruptcy Action”) (Id. Ex. B);

and (3) the Order Granting Allstate Insurance Company’s Motion for Relief from

Automatic Stay in the Bankruptcy Action (Id. Ex. C). All of these documents are

available to the public and are certified and maintained by an official office. Their

accuracy cannot therefore be reasonably disputed. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS

Plaintiff’s RJN as to all three documents.

II. Motion to Lift Stay

Defendants failed to file an opposition to the Motion within the time specified by

Civil Local Rule 7.1(e)(2). Accordingly, the Court finds that Defendants consent to the

Motion pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7.1(f)(3)(c). 

Further, the Order Granting Allstate Insurance Company’s Motion for Relief

from Automatic Stay in the Bankruptcy Action states:

Pursuant to Section 362 of Title 11 of the United States Code, the Court

confirms that the automatic stay is inapplicable to Allstate’s declaratory relief

action against debtor Claudia Osuna, captioned Allstate Ins. Co. V. Osuna, et

al., United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Case

No. 3:12-cv-01248-JLS-BLM, and that Allstate may immediately resume

prosecution of that matter. 

(RJN Ex. C, ECF No. 7-3.) Accordingly, the Court finds that the stay in this matter is

no longer in effect, and the Court therefore GRANTS Plaintiff’s Motion.

III. Conclusion

In light of the foregoing, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s Request for Judicial
