Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-12 (California T4 Mono build 2026-10-12) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-mono/docs/local-rules/mono-court-local-rules-07012024.pdf (the court's rule book, its first page “SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF MONO RULES OF COURT TABLE OF CONTENTS”, as fetched 2026-10-12; 455801 bytes, sha256 7f13a67fbb3fef43a5fe9d7498b9776918dc4cab18d4f48e7e26367beae07f5b; 39 pages; this chapter PDF pages 11 to 13, printed pages 11 to 13) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): the rules (PDF pages 5 to 34, printed with the same numbers) composed as one text and cut at the fourteen chapter headings - “CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTORY” and “CHAPTER 2. ADMINISTRATION OF THE COURTS; FAIRNESS; COURTROOM DECORUM”, then “CHAPTER 3” to “CHAPTER 14” each on a line of its own above the chapter's title - each matched once at a line start (a chapter may begin mid-page); the book's title lines atop page 5 (“SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF MONO”, “LOCAL”, “RULES”) set before Chapter 1 and in no card; the running header of every page (“Superior Court of California” at the left, “County of Mono” at the right, named) and the page number at its foot (“5”, named and a whole line in its band) removed as chrome - 90 chrome lines; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs, each rule's number and title (“RULE 3.10 STIPULATION REGARDING CALENDARED MATTERS”), each numbered subrule of Rules 4.10 and 4.11 (“4.10.2 DUTIES OF COUNSEL PRIOR TO CONFERENCE”), each lettered or numbered subdivision and each history line (“(Effective July 1, 2001).”) starting a line and each chapter heading on a line of its own; the strike report (review/strike-report-2026-10-12.txt) finds no struck run on the book's 39 pages; no table on the rule pages; 4 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: Rule 4.7(A)(2)'s “(180)” and Rule 5.1(E)(3)'s “(d)”, which the reflow took for labels, rejoined to their sentences; Rule 4.8's “Pretrial” / “Conference” rejoined; Rule 2.8's sentence “Bailiffs will remove any person from court who violates this rule.”, a paragraph of its own on the page, set apart from subdivision a.); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, bold, false-break, fragment and row audits (custody file book_extra_audits.py; review/book-extra-audits-2026-10-12b.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 (the four blank lines printed inside sentences of Rules 3.2, 4.2(B), 4.3 and 4.10.3, joined as the sentences run; the headings and lists the false-break audit names; Rule 7.1(A)(1) on one line); the book's own spellings and spacing kept (Rule 1.1's history “(Effective July I, 200 1, ...)”, “NATURAL DISATERS”); proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The table of contents (PDF pages 1 to 4), the alphabetical index (Appendix A, 35 to 38) and page 39 (headed “APPENDIX B” and “LIST OF LOCALL FORMS”, otherwise blank) belong to no card. Review note: The book's contents and its index list Rule 3.6, Authority of Clerk’s Office Regarding Settings, and Rule 3.7, No At Issue Memorandum-Civil Cases, each dated 7/1/24; the book prints neither - Rule 3.5 is followed by Rule 3.8. Both copies of the book the site links (the English page's and the Spanish page's variant) print the same. The review task asks the court for the two rules.
