Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-08 (California T4 San Mateo build 2026-10-08) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-san-mateo/docs/civil/dept28_pretrial_order-jury_trials.pdf (442128 bytes, sha256 0db630b17734a701ec2882ededf21a3553bb4bcdc3f11dfa3d03e0fc67c0b135; 13 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 13 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 removed (13 whitespace fixes); the pleading caption set cell by cell (a same-character fix). Attached to Judge Nicole S. Healy: the card is Department 28's, where the court's Directory of Judges (effective August 3, 2026) seats Judge Nicole S. Healy.
