Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-12 (California T4 Lassen build 2026-10-12) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-lassen/docs/local-rules/local-rules-court-effective-july-1-2026.pdf (the court's rule book, its cover “SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF LASSEN LOCAL RULES OF COURT Effective July 1, 2026”, as fetched 2026-10-12; 902440 bytes, sha256 b04136070555eb679f27e6020412087f261a95fe203b285fa7225070791bc2b4; 112 pages; this rule PDF page 32, printed page 32) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): the rules (PDF pages 5 to 100, printed 5 to 100) composed as one text and cut at the nineteen headings “RULE OF COURT NO. 1” to “RULE OF COURT NO. 19”, each matched once as a whole line (a rule may begin mid-page); the running header of every page (“Superior Court of California, County of Lassen”) and its running footer (“Local Rules of Court”, “Rev. 7/1/26”, “www.Lassen.Courts.CA.gov” and the page number), each named and a whole line in its band, removed as chrome - 480 chrome lines; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs, each rule's heading and title, each numbered rule (“6.1 TELEPHONIC APPEARANCE RULE.”), each lettered or numbered subdivision starting a line, a line in capitals ending its paragraph, and each history line (“(Effective ...)”) on a line of its own; the strike report (review/strike-report-2026-10-12.txt) finds no struck run on the book's 112 pages; no table on the rule pages; 9 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: Rule 1's “At-Issue” / “Memorandum” sentence rejoined; Rule 7(B)'s excepted case types set row by row, their cells left to right; Rule 15.7(c)'s complaint addresses and Rule 19.3(g)'s claims address each set one printed line to a line; two pairs of Rule 19.4(a)'s fee lines set apart); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, bold, false-break, fragment and row audits (custody file book_extra_audits.py; review/book-extra-audits-2026-10-12.txt and review/book-audits-after-fixes-2026-10-12.txt) list candidates read one by one (build/book_fixes.py) - the rest kept as printed (list items without closing punctuation, the run-in bold headings of Rule 19.4(b) and (d), the “OR” lines between alternatives); proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover (PDF page 1), the table of contents (2 to 4), the alphabetical subject index (101 to 110) and the two appendices of local forms (111 and 112) belong to no card. Review note: Rule 4(A) hears Department of Child Support Services support matters in Department 7, “the Family Court Commissioner’s department”; neither the book nor the court’s pages captured name a commissioner (the bench review task).
