Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-09 (California T4 Solano build 2026-10-09) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-solano/docs/form/zoom-guidelines-d3-revised-52626.pdf (156672 bytes, sha256 fb9579f4b479be16c5c2c74f996bafd489170e0660e83fdaf42a90a2a79b9578; 1 page) 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): the sheet's two columns read column by column (the gutter at x 300); an item's second line rejoined (one whitespace-only fix); the revision line printed at the foot of the page below the left column, which the column reading sets inside the item that runs on into the right column, set after the right column and the item rejoined (one same-character fix). Attached to Judge L. Stephen Gizzi: the card is Department 3's, where the court's Judicial Directory page (no effective date printed) seats Judge L. Stephen Gizzi.
