VIRGINIA M. HERNANDEZ COVINGTON, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court upon consideration of Defendant Christopher Frankel's Motion for Judicial Notice (Doc. # 15), filed on December 17, 2018. Plaintiffs Cayman Securities Clearing and Trading Ltd., Scottsdale Capital Advisors, Alpine Securities Corporation, and the Hurry Family Revocable Trust failed to file a response in opposition to the Motion within the time parameters of Local Rule 3.01(b). Therefore, the Court considers the Motion to be unopposed.
At any stage of the proceeding, a court may take judicial notice of "a fact that is not subject to reasonable dispute because it: (1) is generally known within the trial court's territorial jurisdiction; or (2) can be accurately and readily determined from sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned." Fed. R. Evid. 201(b); 201(d). "Notably, courts may take judicial notice of documents from a prior proceeding because they are matters of public record and `capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy could not reasonably be questioned.'"
Nonetheless, while a court may take judicial notice of orders and other filings in another court, it may only do so "for the limited purpose of recognizing the `judicial act' that the order represents or the subject matter of the litigation."
In this case, Frankel requests the Court take judicial notice of three documents: (1) a decision by the National Adjudicatory Council of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority involving Cayman, Scottsdale, Alpine, and John Hurry; (2) an order from the U.S. District Court of New Hampshire granting a motion to dismiss a case brought by Scottsdale and John Hurry; and (3) an order from the U.S. District Court of Arizona granting a motion for summary judgment against Scottsdale and John Hurry in yet another case brought by Scottsdale and John Hurry. (Doc. # 15).
These documents are matters of public record, and the authenticity of these documents cannot reasonably be questioned.
Accordingly, it is
Defendant Christopher Frankel's Motion for Judicial Notice (Doc. # 15) is
