MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
I. INTRODUCTION
A reviewing court may take judicial notice of any matter specified in Evidence code section
452. (Evid. Code, § 259.) The Court may notice “facts... that are not reasonably subject to
dispute.” (Evid. Code, § subd. (h).) Judicial notice of such facts is mandatory in the trial court upon
requ3est when the opposing party is permitted to raise objections and the court has enough
information about the facts to make a determination that they come within a category subject to
notice. (Evid. Code, § 453, sub. (b).) A reviewing court is permitted to notice facts just a s a trial
court (Evid. Code § 459, subd. (a).).
“Judicial notice is the recognition and acceptance by the court for use... by the court, of the
existence of a matter of law or fact that is relevant to an issue in the action without requiring
formal proof of the matter.” Lockley v. Law Office of Cantrell, Green, et al. (2001) 91 Cal-App.4
875, 822, citations and quotations omitted. “The underlying theory of judicial notice is that the
matter being judicially noticed is a law of fact that is not reasonably subject to dispute.” (Ibid.
Original emphasis: Evid. Code, § 452, subd. (h).)
Section 430.70 of the California Code of Civil Procedure provides that a demurrer may rely on
judicially noticed facts pursuant to section 452 or 453 of the Evidence Code. Courts may judicially
notice matters specified in California Evidence Code section 452. Judicial notice of such matters
must be taken if a party requests it, gives each adverse party sufficient notice of the request, and
furnishes the court with sufficient information to enable it to take judicial notice of the matter. Cal.
Evid. Code § 453. Evidence Code section 452 authorizes the Court to take judicial notice of
“[rjecords of ... any court of this state or ... any court of record of the United States” and “[fJacts
and propositions that are not reasonably subject to dispute and are capable of immediate and

accurate determination by resort to sources of reasonably indisputable accuracy.” See Cal. Evid.
Code § 452(d), (h).
