Service on Plaintiff Lastly, the Court notes that Kingsbury served Plaintiff, who self-represented, with the moving and reply papers by electronic service. Though no prejudice appears here, this is not proper.

California Rules of Court, rule 2.253(b)(2) provides that “[s]elf-represented parties or other self-represented persons are exempt from any mandatory electronic filing and service requirements adopted by courts under this rule and Code of Civil Procedure section 1010.6.” Additionally, “[i]n civil cases involving both represented and self- represented parties or other persons, represented parties or other persons may be required to file and serve documents electronically; however, in these cases, each self-represented party or other person is to file, serve, and be served with documents by non-electronic means unless the self- represented party or other person affirmatively agrees otherwise.” (California Rules of Court, rule 2.253(b)(3).)

There is no indication that Plaintiff has affirmatively agreed to electronic service. All parties are to comply with California Rules of Court, rule 2.253.
