Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-09 (California T4 Solano build 2026-10-09) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-solano/docs/d2generalinfo.pdf (124490 bytes, sha256 31fc60e1967def0ced9186b6d514a03530a63c43813f5a0306c15c3449b7e9c5; 5 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; spaces at line ends and empty lines taken out (whitespace only: the Zoom sheets print through “Microsoft: Print To PDF” with a space after each line's last word); 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): each page's footer (the page number and “Dept. 2 - GENERAL ORDERS FOR ALL JURY TRIALS”) removed as chrome; the caption's two cells, which the line reading interleaves, set cell by cell (the box on the left, then the title on the right), the column of seven closing parentheses between them left out (one same-character fix). Attached to Judge Daniel J. Healy: the card is Department 2's, where the court's Judicial Directory page (no effective date printed) seats Judge Daniel J. Healy.
