Reviewer note: Document sha256: 3eb547e9f3fab4818b2f45c5b41d4ab7d5fd5c308c4f63c65777fd288b61284a (38721 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it. Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. [moved from the text 2026-09-14] [Re-filed 2026-09-26: the harvest lane's topic map matched 'mediat' inside 'immediately', so this order was filed under Mediation; with the pattern anchored to whole words the lane's own map files it under Special Set Hearings. Text unchanged.]
