Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-08 (California T4 San Mateo build 2026-10-08) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-san-mateo/docs/civil/pretrial-order-non-complex-jury-trials-department-2.pdf (429869 bytes, sha256 38f80458a98229f253808f06f8c7c74e513abd0e9dd3cf34440e343dbedd7703; 16 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): the deadline table and the sample exhibit and witness lists, ruled tables, set cell by cell (tables=True), the table's numbered and lettered requirements each on its own line, the running footer removed, the signature's two lines set apart and “Local Rule 2.12.” rejoined to its sentence (19 whitespace fixes); the exhibit list's header cells set as two cells and the caption set cell by cell (two same-character fixes); proof 2 taken with the text trace's six glyphs of font size 0 subtracted (“MMMMAM” beside the signature line: they draw nothing). Attached to Judge Mark A. McCannon: the card is Department 2's, where the court's Directory of Judges (effective August 3, 2026) seats Judge Mark A. McCannon.
