Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-14 (California T4 Alpine build 2026-10-14) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-alpine/docs/forms-and-filings/dvgv-electronic-submission-instructions.pdf (310448 bytes, sha256 52291bc2e589b8bfcb482abf8c98cf81fee97691dd614a7f2b045264bf4b1de9; 1 page; a printed text layer) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): its one page composed; its footer (“ACSC (Rev. 6/23)” and “Page 1 of 1”, named) removed as chrome - 2 chrome lines; 2 whitespace-only fix windows (build/doc-fixes.json: the telephone number and web address, and the two example labels of the page's two columns, each split) and 1 same-character fix (build/doc-captions.json: the second scanning bullet's dash, printed 3 points below its line, set before it as the page prints the list - the characters unchanged, only their order and whitespace); the page's three pictures (the court's seal and the examples of an accepted and a rejected submission) carry no text; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. Review note: The sheet's two examples of an accepted and a rejected submission are pictures, not text; the Domestic Violence and Gun Violence Restraining Orders page (carded) names the same address and states that petitions for any other type of restraining order are not accepted electronically.
A 2013 standing order requiring attorneys to e-file family-law and civil documents (no paper filings accepted) as the court began compliance with the Supreme Court's e-filing mandate; criminal filing unchanged.
