Reviewer note: Source sha256: 9ef48b7eba9bc9702283dd9231fe4c653aea74051183b49f444595fa942a3ecf. Corpus categories: OTHER_PUBLISHED_PROCEDURE, PROPOSED_ORDERS. Operative status as recorded: LIVE_PAGE_CURRENT_AS_CRAWLED. Published during the 2026-07-24 completeness pass. SOURCE DRIFT MEASURED 2026-07-24: the page(s) these requirements were captured from have been edited since capture. A live re-read found 14 of 17 published requirements (82%) still present on 2 source pages (/courts-judges/judge-phillip-a-pena/judge-pena-division-procedures/, /departments-services/proposed-orders-for-judge-phillip-a-pena/). The missing text may have been reworded, moved, or withdrawn — BenchPath does not guess which. Confidence LOWERED to medium until a human re-reads the source. Re-verify before relying on any single clause.
