 A court may take judicial notice of court records. See MGIC Indem. Co. v. Weisman, 1

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

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN RATHBUN,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-01-1721 GEB PAN P

vs.

ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE

STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

 

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner has filed a request to reopen this action, which was dismissed on

January 17, 2002. The record in this action reflects that the action was dismissed without

prejudice due to petitioner’s failure to comply with a court order to file an amended petition. It

further appears that petitioner had not exhausted state court remedies at the time he filed the

instant action. The record further reflects that in July 2004 petitioner filed a request to reopen

this action. At the time, the court directed that petitioner’s request be removed from the file in

this action and opened as a new action. (Order filed July 15, 2004.) That action, Case No. CIV

S-04-1363 GEB PAN P, was subsequently dismissed without prejudice at petitioner’s request. 

(Order filed August 20, 2004.)1
