Order of Affirmance. ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED. fn1[Additionally, we have reviewed the "proper person motion for remand" and the "judicial notice" Valdez has submitted in this matter, and we conclude no relief based on those submissions is warranted. With respect to Valdez's "judicial notice," to the extent that the filing can be construed as a notice of supplemental authorities, we decline to consider it because it essentially restates Valdez's factual and legal argument
