Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-07 (California T4 San Bernardino build 2026-10-07) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-san-bernardino/docs/civil/calendaringguidelinesranchodistrict.pdf (1704528 bytes, sha256 eabfba89a932400727d38a94f131fe4c1dd90cf2981d005a16abf8f7973381b9; 1 page) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): page marks and running headers removed as chrome; lines reflowed into the document's paragraphs; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. Documented settings (whitespace-only or same-character changes; the proofs hold): ruled tables set one row per line; the capitals letterhead line set apart from the title. Review note: The guidelines say all civil matters are heard in departments R12 and R17; the Schedule of Assignments (effective October 1, 2026) also seats a civil judge in Department R14, partnered to R12. A review task asks the court to confirm the departments.
