Document Type: immaterial

?

Okay, let's break down this request and then address the specifics of finding and presenting the exhibits from Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC.

Understanding the Request

  1. Case Identification: You've correctly identified the case: Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC. This is crucial for searching court records.

  2. Exhibit Focus: You're interested specifically in exhibits, which are pieces of evidence presented during the case.

  3. Specific Content Keywords: You're prioritizing exhibits containing:

    • Text messages
    • The word "immaterial" (or variations thereof)
  4. File Format Preference: You prefer PDF files.

  5. OCR Requirement: You want Optical Character Recognition (OCR) applied to the PDFs. This means that any images of text within the PDFs should be converted into machine-readable text, making the document searchable and allowing you to copy and paste the text.

  6. No Redactions/Original Content: This is the most important constraint. You want the exhibits exactly as they were presented in court, with no information blacked out or altered. You do not want summaries or analysis; you want the raw data.

  7. **Token Limit:**8192 tokens

Steps to Locate and Extract Exhibits (using PACER as the primary example):

  1. Access PACER: Go to the PACER website (pacer.uscourts.gov) and log in (or create an account if you don't have one).

  2. Case Search: Use the "Case Locator" or "Find a Case" feature. Enter the case number (2:17-cv-04982) and select the "Eastern District of Pennsylvania" as the court.

  3. Docket Report: Once you find the case, access the "Docket Report." This is a chronological list of every filing in the case.

  4. Identify Relevant Filings: This is the most time-consuming part. You'll need to scan the docket entries, looking for filings that are likely to contain exhibits. Look for terms like:

    • "Exhibit"
    • "Declaration of..." (Declarations often have exhibits attached)
    • "Motion for Summary Judgment" (These often rely heavily on exhibits)
    • "Brief in Support of..." or "Opposition to..."
    • "Trial Exhibit"
    • "Appendix"
  5. Download Filings: When you find a promising docket entry, click on the document number to view it. PACER will show you the cost before downloading. Download the filings that might contain the exhibits you're looking for.

  6. Examine for Text Messages and "immaterial": Open the downloaded PDFs. Use the "Find" function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to search for the word "immaterial" and variations (immaterial, demonic, etc.). Also, visually scan for sections that appear to be text message conversations.

  7. OCR (If Necessary): If the PDF is an image-based PDF (meaning you can't select or search the text), you'll need to perform OCR. You can use:

    • Adobe Acrobat Pro (paid)
    • Free online OCR tools (less reliable, potential privacy concerns)
    • Tesseract (open-source command-line OCR engine - more technical)
    • PDF Studio Pro
