Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-14 (California T4 Fresno build 2026-10-14) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-fresno/pages/divisions__civil__remote-appearance-information.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-14; 639510 bytes, sha256 dcbeb8c58fde17f22edae54aa9b0984ee7bb8566fbeec933c77d93992589a670) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: 1 item (the page title); proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page states “As set forth in Local Rule 2.2.4, requests to appear via CourtCall are not required for remote appearances at Case Management Conferences set in Department 97E.”; Rule 2.2.4 of the book effective July 1, 2026 names CourtCall and the Notice of Remote Appearance and no department. The RA-020 statement: the review task is on Chapter 1's card.
