The Court may take judicial 3 notice of and consider on a motion to dismiss documents filed with the SEC. See Janas v. 4 McCracken (In re Silicon Graphics Sec. Litig.), 183 F.3d 970, 983 (9th Cir. 1999); In re Nuko 5 Info. Sys. Sec. Litig., 199 F.R.D. 338, 341 (N.D. Cal. 2000). The above-referenced disclosure 6 statements, attached hereto as Exhibits A through N, constitute “relevant public disclosure 7 documents filed with the Securities Exchange Commission[.]” Ronconi v. Larkin, No. C-97- 8 1319, 1998 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 6364, *2 (N.D.Cal. May 1, 1998). Because it would be “highly 9 impractical and inconsistent with Fed. R. Evid. 201 to preclude a district court from considering 10 such documents when faced with a motion to dismiss a securities action based on allegations of 11 material misrepresentations or omissions,” this Court may take judicial notice of the SEC Forms 12 8-K, 10-QSB, 10-Q, 10-Q/A, 13D and 4 for purposes of this motion. Lovelace v. Software 13 Spectrum, Inc., 78 F.3d 1015, 1018 n.1 (5th Cir. 1996) (citation omitted); accord Fla. State Bd. 14 of Admin. v. Green Tree Fin. Corp., 270 F.3d 645, 663 (8th Cir. 2001). enue, NW, Washington, DC, 20037 enue, NW, 15 The Court may also consider “the full text of documents cited by the plaintiffs” in the 16 Consolidated Complaint. Ronconi, 1998 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 6364, at *2; Silicon Graphics, 183 Blank Rome LLP 17 F.3d at 986. Thus, the Court may take judicial notice of the full text of the Form 8-Ks and press 18 releases referenced or quoted in the Complaint. In re Gilead Sciences Sec. Litig., 2005 WL 19 181885 at *3 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 26 2005); Wiestschner v. Monterey Pasta Co., 294 F. Supp. 2d, 20 1102, 1108-09 (N.D. Cal. 2003). In addition, the Court may take judicial notice of stock prices Watergate, 600 New Hampshire Av Watergate, 600 21 in ruling on a motion to dismiss. In re 3Com Sec. Litig., 199 WL 1039715 at *4 (N.D. Cal. July 22 8, 1999); Ravens v. Iftikar, 174 F.R.D. 651, 661 (N.D. Cal. 1997) (noting that the Court may, on 23 its own motion, take judicial notice of historical stock prices). 24 Although virtually all of the documents referred to in the Memorandum of Points & 25 Authorities in Support of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss are quoted or cited in the Complaint, 26 documents upon which the Complaint is based can be considered irrespective of whether 27 plaintiff has chosen to cite or quote from them.
