Does a court have jurisdiction to consider materials that have not been properly brought to its attention?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Olvera v. City of Modesto, 38 F.Supp.3d 1162 (E.D. Cal. 2014):

Additionally, the court has the discretion in appropriate circumstances to consider materials that are not properly brought to its attention, but the court is not required to examine the entire file for evidence establishing a genuine issue of material fact where the evidence is not set forth in the opposing papers with adequate references. See Southern Cal. Gas Co. v. City of Santa Ana, 336 F.3d 885, 889 (9th Cir.2003) ; Carmen v. San Francisco Unified Sch. Dist., 237 F.3d 1026, 1031 (9th Cir.2001).
