Reader’s notes
p. 262. Two printed columns: the stub "Stage" and "Median days". Row "II.A.1. Filing of petition of notice of hearing issued": the Median days cell is printed as ". 8" — a stray dot (a leader-dot artifact from the long leader rule, not a decimal point or footnote marker) sits to the left of the 8; transcribed as 8. Also in that same row label, the wording reads "Filing of petition of notice of hearing issued" as printed, where "of notice" is probably a misprint for "to notice"; kept as printed. The scan is a somewhat degraded 1-bit image: several i-dots and apostrophes are faint (e.g. "hearing", "decision", "issuance" often print as "hearmg", "decision" with broken dots), but all words were legible in context. Footnote markers on rows I.B and I.C read as raised 1; on rows II.B and II.C they read as a raised 2 (set in a style that can resemble a raised "a" at this resolution), matching the two printed footnotes.
