Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 201, defendants Amteck of Kentucky, Inc. and the Haskell Company request that the court take judicial notice of the following facts: 1. Plaintiffs filed an action against defendants Amteck of Kentucky, Inc. and the

Haskell Company entitled Reynaldo Salinas, et al. vs. Amteck, Superior Court, State of California, Napa County, Case No. 26-35179 which was dismissed without prejudice. See, Exhibits "1" and "4" attached to the memorandum accompanying this motion. 2. Plaintiffs filed this action against defendants Amteck of Kentucky, Inc. and

the Haskell Company in Texas state court. See, Exhibit "8" attached to the memorandum accompanying this motion. 3. The claims against defendants Amteck of Kentucky, Inc. and the Haskell

Company in Reynaldo Salinas, et al. vs. Amteck, Superior Court, State of California, Napa County, Case No. 26-35179 are substantially similar to the claims in this action. See, Exhibits "1" and "8" attached to the memorandum accompanying this motion. 4. Plaintiffs sued an entity known as Amteck of Texas in this action. Amteck of

Texas removed the action to the Southern District of Texas and asserted it had been wrongfully jointed in this action. Amteck also filed a motion to dismiss and was eventually dismissed by plaintiffs. See, Exhibits "13" through "15" attached to the memorandum accompanying this motion. 5. Defendant Amteck of Kentucky removed this action to the Southern District

of Texas and filed a motion to dismiss/transfer. See, Exhibits "9" and "10" attached to the memorandum accompanying this motion. 6. Defendant Haskell Company removed this action to the Southern District of

Texas and filed a motion to dismiss/transfer. See, Exhibits "11" and "12" attached to the memorandum accompanying this motion. Defendants Amteck of Kentucky, Inc. and the Haskell Company also request that the court take judicial notice of the court's files and documents while the case was venued
