Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-07 (California T4 Inyo build 2026-10-07) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-inyo/docs/local-rules/inyo-local-rules-court-7-1-2025-final.pdf (2192390 bytes, sha256 a6aa75be2cec1e4f127ddf327214b9c900e83376971d9542c1aaafb652cc7684; 68 pages) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow). The rules (pages 6 to 56) were composed once and cut at each article heading (the book's two title lines and the twelve articles rejoin to the whole): the running header (Local Rules of Court - Inyo County Superior Court (Rev. 7-1-2025)-) and the page numbers removed as chrome; one word struck through in two places (Rule 9.4) taken out as deleted text (the composer's strike_out; custody review/strike-report-2026-10-07.txt); the cover, the table of contents and list of currently effective rules, and Appendix I (the alternative dispute resolution forms) belong to no article card; lines reflowed into the court's paragraphs, each rule heading on its own line; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. Review note: No rule of Article XII carries a history note.
