Documented settings (whitespace-only or same-character changes; the proofs hold): the deadline chart, a ruled table, set cell by cell (tables=True), each requirement in a cell on its own line (seven) and the footnote mark “1” after “SUMMARY OF DEADLINES” set apart by a space (whitespace fixes); the chart's footnote set before the heading “I. WITNESS LISTS AND TRIAL EXHIBITS”, whose numeral the reading took before it (the same characters). Attached to Judge Leonard E. Marquez: the card is Department 34's, where the court's Directory of Judicial Departments (effective September 14, 2026) seats Judge Leonard E. Marquez.
