ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST TO TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE OF APPELLATE OPINION
[ECF No. 62]
NITA L. STORMES, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Kyle Robert James, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 6, 2017, Plaintiff filed a letter requesting that the Court take judicial notice of a recent order by the California Court of Appeal wherein Plaintiff contends that his conviction was reversed. ECF No. 62. Plaintiff fears that as a result of this order, he will be returned to the custody of Sheriff Gore. Id. Plaintiff did not attach a copy of the appellate court's opinion.
The Court may take judicial notice of "a fact that is not subject to reasonable dispute because it . . . can be accurately and readily determined from sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned." Fed. R. Evid. 201. This includes proceedings and records from other courts in other cases that directly relate to the case at hand. Bias v. Moynihan, 508 F.3d 1212, 1225 (9th Cir. 2007). Here, though Plaintiff did not supply it, the Court was able to locate in public state court records an order filed by the California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division One, in the case of The People v. Kyle James, D071081 (Sept. 15, 2017) (available at http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/case/mainCaseScreen.cfm?dist=41&doc_id=2156273&doc_no=D071081). Therein, the Court of Appeal reversed the judgment and remanded the matter to the trial court for further proceedings. Because the existence and disposition of this order are not subject to reasonable dispute and may readily be confirmed, the Court will take judicial notice of this order. However, because Plaintiff has not presented any evidence to the Court that indicates that he will be relocated as a result of this order, no further relief is available at this time.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
