If a violation of this chapter is alleged or the application
or construction of this chapter is in issue in any proceeding in the
Supreme Court of California, a state court of appeal, or the
appellate division of a superior court, each person filing any brief
or petition with the court in that proceeding shall serve, within
three days of filing with the court, a copy of that brief or petition
on the Attorney General, directed to the attention of the Consumer
Law Section at a service address designated on the Attorney General's
official Web site for service of papers under this section or, if no
service address is designated, at the Attorney General's office in
San Francisco, California, and on the district attorney of the county
in which the lower court action or proceeding was originally filed.
Upon the Attorney General's or district attorney's request, each
person who has filed any other document, including all or a portion
of the appellate record, with the court in addition to a brief or
petition shall provide a copy of that document without charge to the
Attorney General or the district attorney within five days of the
request.  The time for service may be extended by the Chief Justice
or presiding justice or judge for good cause shown.  No judgment or
relief, temporary or permanent, shall be granted or opinion issued
until proof of service of the brief or petition on the Attorney
General and district attorney is filed with the court.
