Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-08 (California T4 San Mateo build 2026-10-08) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-san-mateo/docs/civil/dept11_pretrial_order-court_trials.pdf (522593 bytes, sha256 33cc913e1e17fba539d9c8c6318d35f9dc9eea0259a26c312322e4a58ee9e9d2; 11 pages) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): page marks and running headers or footers 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): composed in two parts - page 1 without the table lane (the table finder reads the pleading paper's margin rules there as a table the size of the page) and pages 2 to 11 with it, joined by a line break; the deadline table, a ruled table, set cell by cell (tables=True), its numbered requirements each on its own line, and the running footer (“Pretrial Order – Court Trial”, “- n-”) removed (7 whitespace fixes); the pleading caption set cell by cell (a same-character fix). Attached to Judge David A. Silberman: the card is Department 11's, where the court's Directory of Judges (effective August 3, 2026) seats Judge David A. Silberman.
