A:
For cases in California's Second District Court of Appeal, you have partially correct but slightly misaligned understanding of the filing process.
Electronic filing (e-filing) is mandatory for most parties in the Second District Court of Appeal, unless you qualify for an exemption. If you have an exemption, you would file directly with the Second District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles - not with the California Supreme Court. The Supreme Court only handles transfers of cases that fall under their jurisdiction or when they grant review.
For proper filing procedures, you should consult the Second District's website (courts.ca.gov/2dca) or contact their clerk's office directly at (213) 830-7000. They can provide specific guidance about your filing requirements, including whether you qualify for an e-filing exemption and the correct procedures for your particular situation.
