Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-14 (California T4 Fresno build 2026-10-14) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-fresno/pages/divisions__traffic__collections.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-14; 636613 bytes, sha256 0837ec0a33643547a572fbf495058e8744e68f4c12a41023a79231a91e981bcc) 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 cites “Fresno Superior Court Local Rule 3.6.2” for the trial by declaration; the book effective July 1, 2026 sets it in Rule 3.6.1 (Trial by Declaration) - its Rule 3.6.2 is Traffic Infraction Appeals.
