court filings, but “not for the truth of the facts recited therein” as to any disputed facts. See
Lee v. City of Los Angeles, 250 F.3d 668, 690 (9th Cir. 2001); Reyn’s Pasta Bella, LLC v.
Visa USA, Inc., 442 F.3d 741, 746 n.6 (9th Cir. 2006) (“We may take judicial notice of
court filings and other matters of public record.”).
Also on March 6, 2026, Defendant requested oral argument on its Motion to
Dissolve Temporary Restraining Order, which is set for hearing on March 18, 2026. ECF
No. 26. The parties have fully briefed the Motion to Dissolve the TRO so the Court does
not believe oral argument is necessary, but GRANTS the request by allowing each side up
to five minutes for oral argument.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
