Reviewer note: Own-site document (text layer, 1 p, 1,280 chars) read in full 2026-09-06; quoted verbatim, except that the sheet's closing line reads 'SEND YOUR EMAIL TO THE 442ND DISTRICT COURT ADMINISTRATOR AT BAYLEE.LATCHAW@…' — a leftover from the 442nd template (Baylee Latchaw is the 393rd's administrator and the sheet ends 'DO NOT APPEAR unless directed by Judge Alexander'; it is linked only from the 393rd page), so the court label is elided in the quote and the drafting slip is recorded here.
