C.D. Cal. L.R. 79-5.3
Service of Documents Filed Under Seal
Filing a
document under seal does not exempt the filer from the service
requirements imposed by federal statutes, rules, or regulations, or by
the Local Rules of this Court. Because documents filed under seal
(even those filed electronically) are visible on CM/ECF or PACER
only to Court personnel and the person who filed the document, a
person electronically filing a document under seal may not rely on the
Court’s CM/ECF System to effect service as provided in L.R. 5-3.2.1.
Service of such documents must be made in accordance with
F.R.Civ.P. 5. At the time of filing, the documents must be
accompanied either by a Proof of Service in the form required by L.R.
5-3.1.2 or by a declaration explaining why service is not required.

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.
