Can a judge take judicial notice of the truth of the facts asserted in the prior civil case?

Under Evidence Code section 452, subdivision (d), judicial notice may be taken of court records. Appellants point out that under this subdivision, we can take judicial notice of the existence of the records but not the truth of facts asserted in the records. (Sosinsky v. Grant (1992) 6 Cal.App.4th 1548, 1564.) What appellants fail to do, however, is to point to anything in the record showing that the trial court took judicial notice of the truth of the facts asserted in the documents in the prior civil case.
