Q: Filing Notice Designating Record on Appeal with Attachment and POSes.
Should attachment #4b to APP-003 be filed with court as separate document or scanned together with APP-003 and POS?
Is stamping "Received" required for Attachment ?
A:
When filing the APP-003 Notice Designating Record on Appeal in California courts, you should scan and file Attachment 4b together with the main APP-003 form and Proof of Service as one complete document. This creates a cohesive filing package that helps court clerks process your documents efficiently.
The "Received" stamp is not required for Attachment 4b. The court clerk will handle any necessary stamping when processing your filed documents. If you receive a conformed copy back from the court, it will typically show the filing stamp on the first page of the complete document package.
To ensure proper filing, organize your documents in this order: APP-003 form first, followed by Attachment 4b, and then your Proof of Service forms last. Double-check that all pages are properly numbered and that your attachments are clearly labeled. This organization helps prevent processing delays and ensures your appeal moves forward smoothly.
