Evidence Benchbook (2™ Ed 1982), § 47, p. 1749 ween 2 ll NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION REQUESTING THE COURT TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE TO: THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE SUPREME COURT: Real Parties in Interest request, pursuant to Evidence Code, section 459, and Rule 8.252 of the California Rules of Court, that the Court take judicial notice of documents attached as Exhibits A and B to Real Parties’ Return to Order to Show Cause Issued March 9, 2016. Exhibits A and B are true and correct copies of the documents obtained by counsel for Real Parties. This motion will be based on this notice of motion, on the attached memorandumofpoints and authorities. MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES This Court may consider matters that are properly the subject of judicial notice. Under Evidence Code section 459, appellate courts have the sameright and power to take judicial notice as do the trial courts. (Evid. Code, § 459; Crowley v. Katleman (1994) 8 Cal.4th 666, 672; Evans v. Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 599, 605, fn. 5.) Evidence Code section 459(a) provides: The reviewing court shall take judicial notice of (1) each matter properly noticed by the trial court and (2) each matter that the trial court was required to notice under Section 451 or 453. The reviewing court may take judicial notice of any matter specified in Section 452. The reviewing court may take judicial notice of a matter in a tenordifferent from that noticed by the trial court. Evidence Code section 452(c) provides that judicial notice may be taken of “official acts of the legislative, executive, and judicial departments ... of any state of the United States.” Section 452(c) also provides that judicial notice may be taken of any document published, recorded, or filed by any executive department. (See also Serrano v. Priest (1971) 5 Cal.3d 584, 591; Moore v. Superior Court (2004) 117 Cal-App.4th 401, 407 fn.5; Wolfe v. State Farm Casualty & Insurance Company (1996) 46 Cal.App.4th 554, 567 fn. 16: Fowlerv. Howell (1996) 42 Cal.App.4th 1746, 1750, Hogen v. Valley Hospital (1983) 147 Cal.App.3d 119, 125.) “Official acts” include reports, records, files, and notices maintained by local governments, including counties. (Cruz v. County of Los Angeles (1985) 173 Cal.App.3d 1131, 1134.) In addition, although a court may judicially notice a variety of matters (Evid. Code, §§ 450, ef seq.), only relevant material may be noticed. “But judicial notice, since it is a substitute for proof [citation], is always confined to those matters which are relevant to the issue at hand.” (Gbur v. Cohen (1979) 93 Cal.App.3d 296, 301; and see Cal. Evidence Benchbook (2d Ed. 1982) § 47.1, p. 1749 [Matters otherwise subject to judicial notice must be relevantto an issue in the action”’].) Real Parties move this Court to take judicial notice of the documents identified in their Return to Order to Show Cause Issued March 9, 2016, and attached thereto as follows: Exhibit “A” - A true and correct copy of the California Secretary of State’s Report of Certification ofInitiative No. 1667. This information is maintained by the California Secretary of State through its office. Exhibit “B” - A true and correct copy of the California Secretary of State’s Circulating Initiatives with 25% of Signatures Reached Report, as of March 21, 2016 showing that Petitioners have not submitted their certificate with the Secretary of State. This information is maintained by the California Secretary of State and can be found online at its website at: http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ballot-measures/initiative-and-referendum- status/circulating-initiatives-25percent-signatures. CONCLUSION For all of the foregoing reasons, Real Parties in Interest respectfully move that this Court take judicial notice of Exhibits A and B attached to their Return to Order to Show Cause Issued March 9, 2016, pursuant to Evidence Code section 459 and California Rules of Court, rule 8.252.
