UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

In support of his traverse, Petitioner filed a request for judicial notice of documents issued by 

the Board of Parole Hearings. (Doc. 44) Respondent did not oppose this request. When considering 

the merits of Petitioner’s claims, the Court considered and relied upon these documents. (Doc. 45 at 

13, n. 4) However, the Court failed to explicitly rule on Petitioner’s motion at that time. 

The Court may take notice of facts that are capable of accurate and ready determination by 

resort to sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned. Fed. R. Evid. 201(b); United States 

v. Bernal-Obeso, 989 F.2d 331, 333 (9th Cir. 1993). The record of the Board of Parole Hearings is a 

source whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned, and judicial notice may be taken of these

records. Mullis v. United States Bank. Ct., 828 F.2d 1385, 1388 n.9 (9th Cir. 1987); Valerio v. Boise 

Cascade Corp., 80 F.R.D. 626, 635 n. 1 (N.D.Cal.1978), aff'd, 645 F.2d 699 (9th Cir.); see also

Colonial Penn Ins. Co. v. Coil, 887 F.2d 1236, 1239 (4th Cir. 1989); Rodic v. Thistledown Racing 

Club, Inc., 615 F.2d 736, 738 (6th. Cir. 1980). Therefore, the Court GRANTS Petitioner’s request
