If documents are allowed to be served on court of appeals by mail, what rule defines that? To whom service by mail must be addressed?
A:
For filing amended notices and APP-004 with California's Second District Court of Appeal, you'll need to follow California Rules of Court (CRC) Rule 8.100, which governs filing notices of appeal, and Rule 8.120-8.124 for designating the record.
Regarding service by mail, CRC Rule 8.25 outlines the requirements for service and filing in reviewing courts. When serving documents by mail to the Court of Appeal, address them to: Clerk, Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Ronald Reagan State Building, 300 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013.
Multiple copies may be required depending on the document type - typically an original plus one copy. Remember to include proof of service with your filings, and note that electronic filing is now mandatory for most documents in the Second District Court of Appeal under Local Rule 2, though there are some exceptions for self-represented litigants.
