Is Poppy's request for judicial notice of several demurrers filed by defense counsel in unrelated cases relevant?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Poppy v. The Cinefamily, B293610 (Cal. App. 2020):

2. Poppy seeks judicial notice of several demurrers filed by defense counsel in unrelated cases, which she contends establish defense counsel has a "pattern of tactics" to avoid the requirements of section 430.41. Whether defense counsel avoided the requirements of section 430.41 in unrelated cases, however, is not relevant to whether counsel did so in this case. Accordingly, we deny the request for judicial notice. (See Ketchum v. Moses (2001) 24 Cal.4th 1122, 1135, fn. 1 [matter to be judicially noticed must be relevant].)
