Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Judicial Notice
Appellant filed “request” for Ct. of Appeals to take judicial notice of two state-court orders, as well as copies of power of attorney and lawyer’s motion filed in state-court proceeding. While two state-court orders typically would be subject to judicial notice, appellant must make said request in appellant’s brief, as opposed to instant freestanding motion. Moreover, appellant’s request with respect to lawyer’s motion and power of attorney would not be subject to judicial notice, since said documents either had not been authenticated or did not constitute evidence of any adjudicative fact.
