ALAN v. AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC.,
Rule 8.104(a)(1) of the California Rules of Court, which in prescribing how a superior court clerk properly gives notice of a judgment or appealable order refers to "a document entitled "Notice of Entry" of judgment or a file stamped copy of the judgment, showing the date either was mailed," requires a single, self sufficient document that satisfies all the rule's conditions. Where clerk mailed parties two documents to inform them of superior court's order denying class certification, one a minute order that was not file stamped, and the other a "Statement of Decision" rather than a "Notice of Entry," mailing of documents did not commence the 60 day period for the filing of a notice of appeal.
