  1. Bach et al v. Amedisys, Inc. et al

    RESPONSE to 188 Notice of

    Filed October 13, 2011

    But Ferguson’s procedural posture has no relevance to the FRE 201 analysis. Under FRE 201(f), judicial notice may be taken “at any stage of the proceeding,” but only when the facts at issue satisfy the strictures of FRE 201(b). The Fifth Circuit’s refusal to judicially notice factual findings made in another proceeding in Ferguson was a straightforward application of FRE 201(b) and should be applied here. Case 3:10-cv-00395-BAJ -CN Document 191 10/13/11 Page 3 of 6 4 2009) (Riedlinger, M.J.); Causey v. Poret, No. 07-238-FJP-SCR, 2007 WL 2701969, *4 (M.D. La. Aug. 23, 2007) (Polozola, J.). The cases cited by Plaintiffs, Love Terminal Partners v. United States, 97 F. Cl. 355 (2011) and L.H. v. Schwarzenegger, 519 F. Supp. 2d 1072 (E.D. Cal. 2007), fail to address this important distinction between the issuance of a report and its contents, when the contents contain disputed facts and unverified data.

    See also Hancock v. Hartford Life & Accident Ins. Co., No. CIV 2:06-CV-00208-FCD-DAD, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 39774, at *12 (E.D. Cal. June 14, 2006) (noting that one of the goals of the limitations placed on judicial notice via Rule 201 is to allow both parties to “examine each other’s evidence and to present all sides to the trier of fact,” and explaining how that goal would be frustrated if judicial notice could properly be taken of facts that are susceptible of reasonable dispute). Similarly, in denying the request to take judicial notice, a district court was not persuaded to consider the contents of a website in determining whether the complaint’s allegations might incorporate website materials by reference.

  5. Varlesi v. Wayne State University et al

    MEMORANDUM Regarding Judicial Notice of Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

    Filed January 16, 2013

    -3- Suite Hotels LLC v. City of Emeryville, 2007 WL81911 (N.D. Cal 2007)(judicial notice of BLS statistics showing wages in the hotel industry); Vandegrift v. Atlantic Envelope Co., 2003 WL 22871661(E.D. Pa 2003)(judicial notice of Bureau of Labor Statistics workforce data); Giles Industries, Inc. v. U.S., 650 F.2d 274 (Ct.Cl. 1981); U.S. ex rel Berglund v. Boeing Co. 2012 WL 1902599 (D.Or. 2012); Rhoades v Walsh, 2009 WL 2600094 (D.Me.2009); Knoch v. Astrue, 2009 WL 691926 (M.D.Fla 2009); In re Davis, 336 B.R.604 (W.D. N.Y. 2006). The website data at issue regarding the wages of social workers, Exhibit B, is clearly properly the subject of judicial notice pursuant to FRE 201. Apparently the only bar to judicial notice of this data would be a failure to adequately identify the website where it is published.

    Judicial notice is appropriate only of those facts not subject to reasonable dispute and that are either generally known or capable of accurate and ready determination. FED. R. EVID. 201(b). The extensive extrinsic evidence of which eBay seeks judicial notice cannot meet these standards.

    at 194, fns.22, 26; 203, n. 45. Unlike this case, the authenticity of the documents was not in question, and the documents are of the type that are properly judicially noticed under Fed. R. Evid. 201. 9 In Defendant’s Request for Judicial Notice, it also cites to Warren v. Fox Family Worldwide, Inc., 328 F.3d 1136, 1139 (9th Cir. 2003), for the proposition that “a court is not required to accept as true conclusory allegations contradicted by documents properly judicially noticed.”

  9. Garden City Employees' Retirement System et al v. Anixter International Inc. et al

    MEMORANDUM

    Filed March 22, 2010

    In order to be subject to judicial notice, a fact must be “capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned.” Fed. R. Evid. 201(b)(2). Defendants offer no basis for why the Court should conclude that the accuracy of the facts contained within these exhibits “cannot reasonably be questioned.”

    Fed. R. Evid. 201(b). Rule 201 permits courts to judicially notice “matters of public record,” and to consider that evidence when deciding on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion without converting the motion to one for summary judgment. Lee v. City of L.A., 250 F.3d 668, 688-89 (9th Cir. 2001), abrogated on other grounds by Crawford-El v. Britton, 523 U.S. 574 (1998) (quoting Mack v. South Bay Beer Case 1:16-cv-00634-JMS-KJM Document 164 Filed 06/20/18 Page 20 of 43 PageID #: 5246 13 Distrib., 798 F.2d 1279, 1282 (9th Cir. 1986)).
