In it he swears that he extended the August 12 order on September 15, on October 6 and on October 15. His own October 15 order says the September 15 extension “was not reflected in the minute order”; Kali Perkins swore on October 14 that the only extension ruling was an oral one on October 6. The fifteen pages do not record a ruling on the merits of any paper Carli filed, or a word she said at any hearing. The order states it may be reviewed only by writ of mandate in the Court of Appeal within ten days.
