Reviewer note: Transcribed 2026-10-15 (California T4 Merced build 2026-10-15) by eye from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-merced/docs/general/standing-order-07072026.pdf (11638206 bytes, sha256 3a64db27e5391b6e9054feb5caef786433c02e5204366a95c135937e05e1630f; the compilation “ACTIVE STANDING ORDERS 2006 to Present”, linked as “All Current Standing Orders”; 70 pages - 36 covered by scanned page images (each with a machine reading laid with it - not a card's source), 34 born-digital (one font of the juvenile competency protocol's pages draws its characters shifted)); this order the compilation's page 31, a born-digital page: read on the page images rendered at 200 dpi (vision/img/so-p31.png), transcribed with the compilation's pages 31 to 44 and checked against a RapidOCR reading of the images (at 200 dpi) and the file's own text layer for the same pages, never published: of the transcription's 2941 words, 75 6-word windows were not found in a reading, in 20 spans - 20 spans split into consecutive pieces each found (a page break, a letterhead or signature block the readings interleave, or the readings' line order) (vision/check-log.txt; evidence/vision-check-2026-10-15.log, evidence/vision-explain-2026-10-15.log). Not part of the text: the compilation's page stamps (“N of 70”) and, where printed, the court's seal, the letterhead's upper-right block, the signature, the running footers and the order's distribution list (cc:), never content (taken out by build/normalize_transcripts.py; the transcriber's file is kept in custody). The transcription's closing note, which describes the pages, is not published. Review note: The order stops the approval of jail passes “during the pandemic and for 90 days after the State of Emergency has been lifted, at minimum”; the compilation lists it among the active standing orders, and Rule 16(L) (carded with Rule 16) provides a courtroom form for an inmate's pass request - the review task asks whether the order remains in force.
