C.D. Cal. L.R. 5-4.1
Electronic Filing in Civil Cases
Throughout these Local
Rules, the terms “electronic filing,” “electronically filed,” and “filed
electronically” refer to the submission of documents for filing through
the Court’s CM/ECF System. Except as provided in L.R. 5-4.2, all
documents filed in civil cases must be filed electronically. Neither
sending a document to the Court by email nor submitting a document
through the Court’s Electronic Document Submission System
constitutes an electronic filing. To file documents using the CM/ECF
System, an attorney must obtain an individual account login and
password from the federal judiciary’s national Public Access to Court
Electronic Records (“PACER”) system (www.pacer.gov) and link this
account to the Court’s CM/ECF System. After the attorney’s PACER
account has been linked to the Court’s CM/ECF System, the attorney
must use the PACER-issued login and password to file documents
through the Court’s CM/ECF System.

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.
Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
