The following excerpt is from People v. Clark, B258237 (Cal. App. 2016):
The abuse of discretion standard also applies to appellate review of a ruling denying a request for judicial notice. (CREED-21 v. City of San Diego (2015) 234 Cal.App.4th 488, 520.) A trial court's decision "not to take judicial notice will be upheld on appeal unless the reviewing court determines that the party furnished information to the judge that was so persuasive that no reasonable judge would have refused to take judicial notice of the matter. [Citation.]" (Willis v. State of California (1994) 22 Cal.App.4th 287, 291.) With this standard in mind, we turn to the challenged evidentiary rulings.
