Narrative:

While my attention was diverted to another area of my radar scope, I allowed commuter X to enter ZLA airspace west/O coordination. Handoff was accomplished 20 northwest ehf, 10 NM inside ZLA airspace. No other traffic was a factor. Automatic handoff did not activate. Should've asked for additional help (I was working alone), and been more aware of my southern boundary.
