Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-06 as a distinct captioned order bundled inside the 499 Local Rules print (bundled-instrument doctrine); shares the 499 receipt. Court-specific 355th criminal; judge-joined to Bufkin. [RECOMPOSED 2026-09-21 (corpus-0920 P7, digital-layer lane): the full text of the registered file (sha256 ee9d35bd26d7..., 28 pages) replaces the earlier 2,340-character abstract. Method: pypdfium2 text layer reflowed page-aware, cross-checked word-by-word against PyMuPDF (10 substantive difference(s), 17 page-furniture), owner-corpus candidate sentences 96% (132/138) matched, 5 running header/footer line(s) removed, no U+FFFD/U+FFFE/form-feed debris. NOT yet checked page by page against the render, so confidence is medium with an open re-verification task; flip to high when a reviewer has read every page against the PDF. benchpath-tx-corpus0920-p7-2026-09-21] [BY-EYE CHECK 2026-09-21 (corpus-0920 P11): every page of the registered file (sha256 ee9d35bd26d7..., 28 page(s)) read against the rendered PDF; file-stamp, caption and signature-block defects of the text layer corrected from the render; confidence lifted to high. benchpath-tx-corpus0920-p11-2026-09-21]
