Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 201, Plaintiffs hereby request that this Court take judicial notice of the following motions and orders filed in Microunity Systems Engineering, Inc. v. SCEA Computer Entertainment America Inc., Case No. 2:05cv505 TJW (E.D. Tex.): Exhibit 1: Plaintiff Microunity's Motion to Compel Defendant SCEA to Present Witnesses to Testify at a Location in the United States Under Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 30(b)(6); Exhibit 2: Plaintiff Microunity's Combined Opposition to SCEA's Motion for Protective Order and Reply in Support of its Motion to Compel Defendant SCEA to Present Witnesses to Testify at a Location in the United States Under Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 30(b)(6); Exhibit 3: the Court's Order in Plaintiff Microunity's Motion to Compel Defendant SCEA to Present Witnesses to Testify at a Location in the United States Under Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 30(b)(6). This Court may take judicial notice, at any stage of the proceedings, of facts that are "capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned." Fed. R. Evid. § 201(b), (f). Under this standard, judicial notice of the court documents filed in Microunity Systems Engineering, Inc. v. SCEA Computer Entertainment America Inc. is proper.
