ORANGE COUNTY HOUSING OPINION AUTHORITY,

Defendant and Respondent.

Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of Orange County, Ronald L. Bauer, Judge. Judgment affirmed. Request for Judicial Notice. Request granted.

* * *

Plaintiff Lisa Calderon appeals from the denial of her petition for a writ of mandate, wherein she sought to have the court set aside a decision of the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) to terminate her housing assistance. The trial court reviewed the proceedings conducted during a hearing before a hearing officer for the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development which affirmed the decision to terminate her assistance because she had failed to properly report income. Plaintiff contends her evidence should have been accepted, rather than the evidence presented by the OCHA. Because we review the decision on the basis of the substantial evidence rule and are not permitted to reweigh the credibility of the witnesses, we affirm the denial of the petition. Plaintiff filed a request for judicial notice forwarding certain pages from the record supplied by respondent. She indicates that this presentation will clarify the record supplied by respondent. We agree that respondent’s filing a record of almost 500 pages, without any index or table of contents, and without any apparent chronological order, made the review of that record extremely burdensome. We therefore grant plaintiff’s request we take judicial notice of certain documents from that record submitted by her.
