Summary
The United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois denied Sabrina and Sade Archibald’s request for judicial notice and an equitable accounting concerning an alleged unsettled debt. The court held that the requested facts were not relevant to the plaintiffs’ claims and that the plaintiffs had not shown the absence of an adequate remedy at law or sufficiently complicated accounts warranting an equitable accounting.

Questions Presented
- Whether the court should take judicial notice of alleged deficiencies and current-status facts concerning the loan account.

Holdings

- Plaintiffs were not entitled to an equitable accounting because they failed to show that they lacked an adequate remedy at law or that the accounts were so complicated that only a court of equity could satisfactorily unravel them.
