Cal. Civ. Code § 8461 — Enforcement of Lien is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

Only from the time of recording that notice shall a purchaser or encumbrancer of the property affected thereby be deemed to have constructive notice of the pendency of the action, and in that event only of its pendency against parties designated by their real names.
