California Court of Appeal December 18, 1998, B105789 (Carlson v. STATE DEPT. OF FISH AND GAME)

Opinion

ZEBROWSKI, J.

Plaintiff, represented by out-of-county counsel, desired to sue in Los Angeles County. Plaintiff’s counsel prepared a complaint and sent it by Federal Express to the Los Angeles Superior Court in Santa Monica. The complaint complied in all respects with state requirements, but plaintiff’s counsel failed to include a “Certificate of Assignment” required by local rule.
