Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-15 (California T4 Tuolumne build 2026-10-15) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-tuolumne/docs/local-rules/local-rules-effective-aug-27-2026.pdf (the court's rule book, its cover “TUOLUMNE COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT LOCAL RULES OF COURT EFFECTIVE AUGUST 27, 2026”, as fetched 2026-10-15; 1761964 bytes, sha256 d8dd3a98b9379c23580021b0a984d40fbc1adb83653c5e17edbe95a1fc3e27f2; 73 pages; this part PDF page 57, page number 57) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): the rules (PDF pages 11 to 57) composed as one text and cut at the twelve chapter headings (“1.00.0 DIVISION OF BUSINESS AND GENERAL RULES” to “12.00.0 WRITS AND APPEALS”), each matched once as a whole line, one card per chapter; the book's caption above the first chapter (“SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA / COUNTY OF TUOLUMNE / --o0o-- / RULES OF COURT - JANUARY 1, 2020”) cut out as a part of its own and held - a caption, not a rule; every page's running head (“LOCAL RULES - SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF TUOLUMNE”, named), page number and the five “///” continuation marks removed as chrome - 99 chrome lines; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs, each chapter and rule number and lettered or numbered subdivision starting a line; 2 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: Rule 2.06.0's three case management plans, printed one to a line, split back onto their lines); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, false-break, structural-break and row-join audits (review/book-extra-audits-2026-10-15.txt and the two audits' runs) list candidates read one by one (build/book_fixes.py) - the rest kept as printed; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover (PDF page 1), the list of the court's officers (2), the instructions (3), the table of contents (4 to 10), the appendix page (58: Form TUO-TRF-100, revised June 9, 2015, printed as a page image over an earlier edition's index that stays in the text layer), the Approved Local Forms by Name (59 to 64), the Alphabetical Subject Matter Index (65 to 70) and the Table of Authorities (71 to 73) belong to no card. Review note: Rule 12.04.0 files appeals in misdemeanor, infraction, traffic and limited jurisdiction civil matters “in the appellate division of this Court” (subdivision (a)), and subdivision (b) files “Appeals in felony, family law, probate, and unlimited jurisdiction civil matters” in “the appellate division of this Court” too, while Rule 12.02.0 files petitions for writs of mandate or prohibition in felony cases “in the California Court of Appeal for the Fifth District”. A review task asks the court to confirm subdivision (b).
