REQUEST FOR JUDICIAL NOTICE

Defendants Stephen Curry and Golden State Warriors, LLC (“GSW”), pursuant to Federal 

Rule of Evidence 201, respectfully request that the Court take judicial notice of the following in 

connection with Defendants Stephen Curry, Larry David, GSW, Shohei Ohtani, and Naomi 

Osaka’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction:

1. The Court should take judicial notice of the fact that GSW’s stadium, the Chase 

Center, is located in San Francisco, California. The Court may take judicial notice of this fact 

because it is not “subject to reasonable dispute” and “can be accurately and readily determined 

from sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned.” F.R.E. 201(b)(2). Indeed, courts 

routinely take judicial notice of geographic locations. See, e.g., Ferguson v. Destefano, 2010 WL 

11561136, at *5 n.6 (S.D. Fla. Oct. 6, 2010) (“A court may independently utilize a map for the 

purpose of taking judicial notice of geographical locations and boundaries.” (quoting Government 

of the Canal Zone v. Burjan, 596 F.2d 690, 694 (5th Cir. 1979))).

2. The Court should take judicial notice of GSW’s principal and mailing address, 

which is recorded with the California Secretary of State and accessible on the Secretary of State’s 

website. “Recorded instruments . . . which are maintained by . . . Secretaries of State . . . fall within 

the parameters of Federal Rule of Evidence 201(b).” Regions Bank v. NBV Loan Acquisition 

Member, LLC, 2022 WL 17359786, at *2 (S.D. Fla. Dec. 1, 2022). Additionally, courts “routinely 

take judicial notice of factual information found on official governmental agency websites.” 

Ladies Mem’l Ass’n, Inc. v. City of Pensacola, Fla., 2020 WL 8449155, at *2 n.5 (N.D. Fla. Aug. 

25, 2020) (citation omitted). A true and correct printout of the California Secretary of State’s 

website listing GSW’s address as 1 Warriors Way, San Francisco, CA 94158, is attached hereto 

as Exhibit A.

3. The Court should take judicial notice that Blockfolio, Inc. (the counterparty to Mr. 

Curry’s contract, Curry Decl. ¶ 3) is incorporated in Delaware and has its principal executive office 

in California, which is recorded with the California Secretary of State and accessible on the 

Secretary of State’s website. As noted above, “[r]ecorded instruments . . . which are maintained 

by . . . Secretaries of State . . . fall within the parameters of Federal Rule of Evidence 201(b)” 

(Regions Bank, LLC, 2022 WL 17359786, at *2), and courts “routinely take judicial notice of 

factual information found on official governmental agency websites” (Ladies Mem’l Ass’n, 2020 

WL 8449155, at *n.2 (citation omitted)). A true and correct printout of the California Secretary 

of State’s website and Blockfolio, Inc.’s July 9, 2018, filing listing Blockfolio, Inc. as a Delaware 

corporation with a principal executive office in California is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

For the reasons set forth herein, Curry and GSW request that the Court enter an order 

granting this motion and taking judicial notice of the matters indicated herein.
