A: In Los Angeles County, California, the designation "QU" in front of a case number typically refers to a "Quiet Title" action. This type of legal action is used to resolve disputes or issues related to the ownership of real property. It's a way to "quiet" any challenges or claims to a title, providing a clear and uncontested ownership.

Regarding the terms "F2" and "OA," these are often related to the categorization of criminal charges. "F2" generally indicates a felony of the second degree. This classification is used for serious crimes, though they are typically less severe than first-degree felonies. The specifics of what constitutes an F2 felony can vary based on the particular statutes and laws in place.

"OA," on the other hand, could refer to a variety of things depending on the context. In some legal contexts, it might relate to an appellate process or a specific type of administrative procedure. However, without more specific context, it's challenging to provide a precise interpretation of "OA." For the most accurate understanding, it would be advisable to refer to the specific context in which "OA" appears or consult local court rules or legal resources.
