Any subsequent hearings contesting a commitment order must be heard in the standard division. • Defense counsel must prepare and submit a transfer order for all eligible defendants. • If a defendant is not eligible for a resolution in Division "M" or if the defendant wants to contest the charge, the defendant must be transferred back for disposition by the court to the standard division from which the case was originally transferred to Division "M."

Reviewer note: Document sha256: 169390c15eac97c7c10f3a2b13c2376c06b16c3ecce29a7f5870d9cde79ea10a (1807714 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. Text layer cleaned 2026-09-08 (Phase 3a): page markers removed; wording untouched. 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.
