I don't think so. The writ of mandamus was requested to force Cardoza to dismiss the case because he had given judicial notice to the existence of the Kingdom of Hawaii. By dismissing the plea the Hawaiian Supreme Court was saying that that wasn't a valid argument. An alternate explanation might be that the court felt the judicial notice not significant in any legal sense and therefor immaterial to the case. Same result in any case. This sets a precedence for Hawaiian courts that judicial notice of the kingdom Is not going to get you much in the way of judicial relief.

So what I'm reading from this is that they said it wasn't enough to dismiss the case, but the judicial notice still stands?
