Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California
How do I correct this simple mistake on my CIV-100 form?
(use for Los Angeles, CA eviction)
The message below was the reason for my denied request:
"Defendants must be listed seperately with name & address for declaration of mailing."
What I did in the box was enter:
person A, person B
1234 something ave,
Los Angeles, CA 12345
I don't know how to list the defendants seperately.

You need to list Person A in a completely different box from Person B. As a result, your proof of service will look something like this:
Person A
1234 X Street
LA CA
Person B
1234 X Street
LA CA
Also, you need to mail two copies of the document in two separate envelopes to assure proper service -- one to the first person, and one to the second. This is true even if they are husband and wife.
