A:
If you've discovered an error in your Notice of Appeal, you should file the Amended Notice with the trial court where your case originated (Chatsworth), not directly with the Civil Appeal Unit at Stanley Mosk courthouse.
The reason for this is procedural - the trial court maintains jurisdiction over the initial filing of notices of appeal and amendments. They will process your Amended Notice and then forward the appropriate documents to the appellate court. This ensures proper documentation and maintains the chain of custody for your appeal.
The Civil Appeal Unit at Stanley Mosk courthouse serves as the reviewing court and will receive your amended documents through proper channels after the trial court processes them. While you may want to contact the Civil Appeal Unit to confirm they've received your amended notice after filing, your first step should be filing the amendment at Chatsworth court. Remember to serve all parties with your Amended Notice of Appeal as required by California Rules of Court.
