I filed a motion to take Judicial Notice back in January. Had the hearing in March. It was pretty basic. It contained the statutory law , a few appellate precedent, and one from the state supreme court. It also contained a paragraph that tied it all to my case. The other side agreed to 4 out of 5 points on my motion. The Judge agreed with him. He said he would take notice of the 4 points. He asked me to submit a proposed order. I did 2 days later. Didn't sign it. In July I asked the clerk about it and sent in another copy of the proposed order. She responded that the judge had the order and didn't sign it.
In August I discovered irrefutable evidence that linked the 5th point of the Judicial Notice. It was on file with the Court. Had a copy authenticated by the clerk as the rules say, and filed a motion for a rehearing based on the new evidence. I included a new proposed order that had all 5 points in it. I scheduled a hearing for the next law day which is the first week of September. I just noticed on-line that the judge denied my new order.
I thought the Judge had to take judicial notice of the law.
this was a pivoting factor in my case.
