Respondent. ORDER

 /

habeas corpus challenging the denial of parole. On June 28, 2010, he filed a motion requesting

that the court take judicial notice of recent decisions of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

concerning the consideration of parole habeas cases. He relies on Rule 201 of the Federal Rules

of Evidence. That rule, however, governs judicial notice of adjudicative facts. Fed. R. Evid.

201(a). The Advisory Committee Notes define such facts as “simply the facts of the particular

case.” The court will consider the applicable law in resolving this case, but declines to take

judicial notice as requested.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s request for judicial notice

(docket no. 13) is denied. 

DATED: August 10, 2010.
