Narrative:

Location: bremr intersection, civet arrival. Inbound on the pdz 3 arrival to runway 25L lax, approach assigned us a heading to intercept the runway 25L localizer east of arnes and maintain 14000 ft. In the proximity of bremr intersection, approach cleared us to cross bremr at or above 12000 ft and descend via the civet 4 arrival. The last min change in arrival procedure and identify of bremr resulted in crossing the arnes intersection approximately 800 ft higher than the maximum altitude crossing of 11000 ft. The remainder of the descent profile was flown.

Title: A B767 RECEIVED A NEW STAR CLRNC AND WAS UNABLE TO CROSS AT REQUIRED ALT INTO LAX.

Narrative: LOCATION: BREMR INTXN, CIVET ARR. INBOUND ON THE PDZ 3 ARR TO RWY 25L LAX, APCH ASSIGNED US A HDG TO INTERCEPT THE RWY 25L LOC E OF ARNES AND MAINTAIN 14000 FT. IN THE PROX OF BREMR INTXN, APCH CLRED US TO CROSS BREMR AT OR ABOVE 12000 FT AND DSND VIA THE CIVET 4 ARR. THE LAST MIN CHANGE IN ARR PROC AND IDENT OF BREMR RESULTED IN XING THE ARNES INTXN APPROX 800 FT HIGHER THAN THE MAX ALT XING OF 11000 FT. THE REMAINDER OF THE DSCNT PROFILE WAS FLOWN.
