• When submitting documents through efiling that will add or update party information, ensure that the applicable “As to” or “Refers to” box is checked prior to submitting the document, as shown below: see http://www.lacourt.org/newsmedia/uploads/14201971511294219NTACIVILEFILINGFAQSUPDATED.pdf
• When efiling documents, ensure that the document meets the technical requirements outlined in paragraph six of the First Amended General Order. Electronically filed documents must be filed in PDF and text searchable format.

The Court is receiving a large volume of documents which do not conform to this requirement. The Court appreciates your patience during the transition to the new system.
