The Court may take judicial notice of the statutes, court rules and directives,

19 County Superior Court’s Notice attached as Exhibit 40, which is posted to its
20 publicly available website. This is because such documents, and the information
21 contained therein, are “capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to
