The day of the date, "7", is handwritten. The second-level bullets print as open circles, set "o". Not part of the text: the pleading paper's line numbers 1 to 25, the clerk's filing stamp, the caption's box, the signature, and the footer "STANDING ORDER– AUTHORITY OF DEPUTY CLERK OVER PAYMENT AND/OR CONVERSION OF CIVIL ASSESSMENTS PURSUANT TO PENAL CODES §§ 1214.1 AND/OR 1214.2(A) (AMENDED)" with "- 1" to "- 3". The transcription's closing note, which describes the pages, is not published. Review note: Its first paragraph converts a failure to pay fine fee to a civil assessment; Standing Order STO-23-0005 (carded) discontinued the routine imposition of civil assessments from March 27, 2023. The Standing Orders page lists both. The review task asks the court which parts of this order remain in force.
