Reviewer note: Transcribed 2026-10-02 (California T3 Riverside build 2026-10-02) from BenchPath custody ca/t3/ca-riverside/rules/electronicfiling.pdf (1797084 bytes, sha256 5dc6a60c5d6c98689db151551fe91f031178fcefe9a356d230dbecb7d025baa3; 4 pages) - transcribed by eye from the rendered page images (200 dpi), every page read against its image; RapidOCR's reading of each page, and the file's own text layer where it has one, served only as second readers - every six-word window of the transcription was looked up in them and every miss checked on the page image (custody vision/check-log.md); the clerk's file stamp in one bracketed line, handwritten fills in place with a closing bracketed note, running footers transcribed once, pleading line numbers omitted; a signature itself is not transcribed. Review note: The order's eSubmit submission fee ($1.85) differs from the fee the court's eSubmit page states; and Local Rule 1050 (direct fax filing) remains in the July 1, 2026 rules although this order discontinued facsimile filing as of July 1, 2019. A review task asks the court which governs.
