203 of 203 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 234. 18 columns: stub + "All C cases" (Number, Percent of total closed, Percent of total method) + seven two-column panels (CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CG, CP), each Number / Percent of total closed. Only "All C cases" has the third "Percent of total method" column; for every other case type that column does not exist, so no cells were left empty on its account. Crop is cut off at the bottom: the image ends with a double rule under the "Contested" row, and the table continues below (the "Compliance with" sub-rows shown here, 3 + 690, do not sum to the printed 1,096, so further sub-rows such as court-decision lines fall outside the crop). No footnote block is visible on this image, hence an empty `footnotes` list, even though markers 1 (on the caption) and 2 (in the body) are referenced. Decimal points: in this scan the period in most percentage figures is very lightly inked and often reads as a blank space (e.g. "100 0", "22 8", "16 7"). These are printed decimal points, and I have transcribed them as such throughout; the few crisply printed ones ("100.0", "1.6", "24.0", "48.6") confirm the format. No value was altered otherwise. Row "Before issuance of complaint", CD cases Number column: the cell holds a small raised parenthesized 2, a footnote reference standing in place of a figure rather than a value. Transcribed literally as "(2)". Column arithmetic implies it represents zero or a suppressed figure (the CD informal-settlement total is 4, and the two rows below it hold 4 and 0). Row "Stipulated decision" (first occurrence), CD cases Number column: the printed 0 carries a small ink speck to its upper right that is scanner noise, not a footnote marker; transcribed as "0". Cells printed as a dash rule or leader dots (the "Percent of total method" cell on the "Total number of cases closed" row, and the many percent cells beside zero counts) are given as "".
p. 235. The crop continues the table from the preceding page: no column headings are printed on this image, so header_rows is empty. Column count read from the vertical rules: 18 columns = stub + 17 numeric. The numeric block is three "all cases" columns (number, percent of all cases, percent within the disposition group) followed by seven number/percent pairs for the case-type breakdowns; the top two rows (Circuit court of appeals decree, Supreme Court action) belong to a section whose heading and earlier lines fall on the previous page. Decimal points: the scan drops or fades many periods in the percent columns, so cells print as "0 7", "35 2", "100 0", "37 9", "24 3", etc. Every entry in those columns is a one-decimal percentage, so they are transcribed with the point restored ("0.7", "35.2", "100.0", "37.9", "24.3"). No digits were changed. Footnote-reference cells: in the tenth numeric column (the CD column, the one carrying 428 / 97.1 in the "10(k) actions" row), the rows "Before issuance of complaint" under Withdrawal and under Dismissal hold only a parenthesised raised numeral instead of a value; transcribed as "(^2)". The raised marker of the second footnote, both in the footnote line and in those two cells, is shaped more like a 3 than a 2 in this scan; it is read as 2, since it is the second of two footnotes and its text is about the CD column. Likewise "sec" in that footnote appears without a visible period and is transcribed "sec.". Dash rules ("-------") and blank cells are rendered as "". In row "After issuance of complaint, before opening of hearing" under Dismissal, the eleventh numeric column appears genuinely blank rather than dash-ruled; either way it is "". Arithmetic check (not applied to the transcription, only as a read check): for every data row the seven case-type number columns sum exactly to the figure in the first numeric column — e.g. Withdrawal 7,819+2,915+626+5+48+11+174 = 11,598 and Dismissal 7,826+3,575+301+2+30+17+133 = 11,884. No misprints detected.
