PER CURIAM.
In applying for a rehearing the Attorney General has called our attention to proceedings involving defendant Charles Butts of which we were unaware when we filed The Attorney General has now lodged with us certified copies of post-conviction proceedings demonstrating that on February 25, 1964, the trial court ordered Butts admitted to bail pending appeal, and bond having been furnished, later entered an order recalling the commitment and ordering Butts' release pending appeal; that Butts was in fact released from the California Medical Facility on March 11, 1964, and has been at liberty ever since. Although the Attorney General now suggests that we order augmentation of the record to include these proceedings, such an order is not necessary since we may take judicial notice thereof. (People v. Rojas, 57 Cal.2d 676, 21 Cal.Rptr. 564, 371 P.2d 300.) It is now apparent that the reason we assigned for not retrying Butts on the assault charges is actually nonexistent. Under the circumstances the last two sentences in the last paragraph of our decision of March 12, 1965, Cal.App., 43 Cal.Rptr. 172, are deleted and the following substituted in lieu thereof:
'The judgment of conviction of involuntary manslaughter and of two counts of simple assault is reversed with directions that he be retried on any or all those charges if the People so elect.'
The petition for rehearing is denied.
