Reviewer note: Sourced from the judge's own profile page, which was confirmed to name this judge before extraction. Text layer cleaned 2026-09-08 (Phase 3a): page markers removed; wording untouched. Confidence set to medium 2026-09-08 (H3 re-verification): the live official document no longer carries this text verbatim — see the open change_detected task on its source. Verbatim from the procedures document linked on Judge Howard O. McGillin, Jr.'s own profile page, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. [moved from the text 2026-09-14] Re-verified by eye 2026-09-17 (fix program 2026-09-17, Phase 3 - audit M1): every sentence found verbatim on the re-fetched official document the page links (https://circuit7.org/wp-content/uploads/Div-46-standard-practices-2-11.pdf); confidence restored to high, the 2026-09-08 medium reason (text no longer on the live document) no longer holds. two sentences neither the judge's page nor any of the five documents it links carries on 2026-09-17 were removed: 'Please do not call the Court expecting to speak with a Judge about any case.' and 'Communications that do not meet these legal requirements cannot be forwarded to the Judge.'.
