A: In California, the procedure for serving the APP-004 form on a party that is not the respondent to an appeal is outlined in the California Rules of Court. Specifically, you should refer to Rule 8.704 of the California Rules of Court, which governs the service of appellate papers. This rule details how and when documents related to an appeal must be served to all relevant parties involved in the case.

When you need to serve APP-004 on a non-respondent party, Rule 8.704 provides the necessary guidelines to ensure that the service is done correctly and in a timely manner. It’s important to follow these guidelines closely to avoid any potential delays or issues with your appeal. Proper service ensures that all parties are adequately informed and have the opportunity to respond if necessary.

Additionally, you might want to consult Rule 8.203 if there are specific circumstances or additional parties involved in your appeal. This rule addresses service on parties who are not directly part of the appeal but still have an interest in the case. By adhering to these rules, you can navigate the appellate process more smoothly and ensure that all procedural requirements are met.
