Ooops! Your "tentative decision" is showing...

Here's a sentence from an unpub'd 4/2 decision today:

HJH prepared the Construction Contract, which was a standard short form “AIA” agreement between owner and contractor with typewritten insertions of the terms of the oral agreement, including the payment of $1.2 million to HJH over 24 months.; RT 17, 143, 691}

Notice the weird "; RT 17, 143, 691}" part at the end?
That's a remnant of the tentative decision poking through. Usually all of the bracketed record cites that appear in the tentative decisions are deleted in the conversion process. But sometimes some slip through...

Here's a link to the decision: http://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/nonpub/E053033.PDF
