California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District · Filed
Published · citable
Holding
The court held that, under California Code of Civil Procedure § 527.6(m), a civil‑harassment restraining order petition **must be personally served** on the respondent, and the trial court was therefore correct in refusing to waive that requirement in favor of service by social‑media posting; consequently the dismissal of the petition for failure to effect personal service was affirmed. ---
