Request for Judicial Notice

The Request for Judicial Notice brought by defendant State Farm is GRANTED pursuant to Evidence Code § 452, as it seeks judicial notice of this Court's Register of Actions for the case of Conkey v. Bolduc (19-28133), which is a case between the two drivers involved in the auto accident at issue in the instant case. In addition, on its own motion and also pursuant to Evidence Code § 452, this Court takes judicial notice of the entire record and files in that case [Conkey v. Bolduc (19-28133)], not for the truth of any assertions therein, but for the existence and procedural history of that litigation. Back
