Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-29 (California T3 Los Angeles build 2026-09-29) from BenchPath custody ca/t3/ca-los-angeles/dept/CourtroomInformation_LB_S25.pdf (276736 bytes, sha256 731203162ccc6753dbd4d62fca4ab1e837a1b278232a41648ae5b3052e0aa420; 8 pages) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow, drawn-glyph reading): page numbers, pleading line numbers and running headers or footers removed as chrome; lines reflowed into the sheet's paragraphs; proof 1 (whitespace-only), proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) and proof 3 (same characters as the glyphs drawn on the page) all pass. Running footers or headers printed on only some pages, or at shifting heights, are named for this sheet and left out as page marks. Attached to Judge Nicole M. Heeseman: the sheet names the judicial officer, and the court's Courtroom Information application and Judicial Officer Search both place Judge Nicole M. Heeseman in Department S25 of the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse. The application also lists a courtroom “25” at the courthouse with no judicial officer and serves for it a three-page sheet for Department S25 printed “8/21/2024” (this sheet's footer prints “4/17/2024”); the two differ in the trial start time, the ex parte and law and motion days, and this sheet's informal discovery conference paragraph and final status conference and trial orders. The shorter sheet is held with its receipt (review task).
