Thanks. Judicial notice is a rule in the law of evidence (see link given below) that provides opportunity to submit facts into evidence when that fact is considered adjudicative and authoritative. Adjudicative evidence here means evidence related to making a decision in a legal case or proceeding.

Judicial notice can be given by the parties involved as is indicated in the filing and there is no need, by the Rules of Federal evidence for witnesses, discovery or briefings, etc. beforehand.

The appearance of the judicial notice can be correlated with US Court of Appeals suspension of the briefing schedule and it is being correlated by some.

There is speculation that the suspension is related to the the Myron Steele amicus curiae brief. However, that brief was submitted to the US Court of Appeals on 7/6/2015 (see link below) and it seems that if that had anything to do with the suspension, the Court was very tardy.

So, it is not known here, what was actually submitted as adjudicative evidence on 7/29/2015 (it may or may not be significant) or what the actual facts are for the suspensions. Given the room that uncertainty provides, imaginations will fly to fill up the room with this seeming correlation or with Myron Steele or something else, but it is surer and simpler to wait and see. Such imaginings are superfluous to any actual fact or outcome.
