1 Though Migliore initially filed a notice of appeal, his appeal was dismissed because he was in default pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 8.140(a). 2 Martens filed a request asking us to judicially notice two documents. We grant the request as to the order from Migliore v. Aiken, Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. BC343540, because judicial notice of the records of “any court of record of the United States or of any state of the United States” is proper under Evidence Code section 452, subdivision (d)(2) and Martens submitted a file-stamped copy of the order. We deny the request as to the second document, however, which appears to be a copy of an order issued in 2008 appointing a guardian ad litem for Migliore. Though the document purports to be an order of the superior court, it lacks a file stamp or other evidence of reliability. (See Wolf v. CDS Devco (2010) 185 Cal.App.4th 903, 914-915.)
