Narrative:
While on an approach to lax runway 25R using the civet 4 profile, we crossed civet at 14000 ft and arnes at 10000 ft, but due to traffic in the area, were distracted and missed the 12000 ft cross at bremr. ATC notified us of our error when we were at about 11000 ft and passed bremr. We were told to continue the approach.
