Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-29 (California T3 Los Angeles build 2026-09-29) from BenchPath custody ca/t3/ca-los-angeles/dept/CourtroomInformation_NW_A.pdf (1439455 bytes, sha256 55bd6f6e70f9c16b6c56a601cbccc421694631b5e0f85a617cbf679bd6840932; 11 pages) assembled in page order: the printed pages composed with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow, drawn-glyph reading), and pages 2 to 11 (page scans that also carry a text layer, hidden under the scan or printed over it), transcribed by eye from the rendered page images, every page read against the image, with a local machine reading (RapidOCR) as the second reader and, for pages that also carry a hidden text layer, that layer as a third; checkboxes are set as “☐”, blanks and signature lines as a rule of underscores, a two-column caption left cell then right cell, line and page numbers omitted, and notes in brackets. For each composed run, 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. Composed page 1 carries Acrobat ClearScan text; it was read against the machine second reader and checked at the page image. Glyph codes the file maps wrongly are set as printed: U+00AD as “-” (U+002D). 1 place where the file's character codes contradict the print, set as printed after the proofs and checked at the page image: “Telephone number: {818) 901-4603” set as “Telephone number: (818) 901-4603” (page 1: the print has (818)). Attached to Judge Huey P. Cotton, Jr.: the sheet names the judicial officer, and the court's Courtroom Information application and Judicial Officer Search both place Judge Huey P. Cotton, Jr. in Department A of the Van Nuys Courthouse East.
