Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 // (954) 831-7336 // Oct. 2022

LOCAL RULE 01 | MOTIONS – PAGE AND OTHER LIMITATIONS

(a) In a motion or other application for an order, the movant shall include a concise statement of the relief requested, a statement of the basis for the request and citation to legal authority in support of the request. Motions set on motion calendar shall not exceed four (5) pages and motions scheduled for special set hearing shall not exceed ten (10) pages. All motions and responses shall be double-spaced with margins not less than one inch. Font size shall not be less than 12 points.

(b) Each party opposing a motion or application may file a response that includes citation to legal authority in opposition to the request. A response to a motion calendar matter shall not exceed three (3) pages and a response to a special set matter shall not exceed seven (7) pages.

(c) No party shall file any reply or further memorandum directed to the motion or response allowed in (a) and (b) unless the Court grants leave.

(d) A motion requesting relief from the page limitation shall not exceed two (2) pages, shall not include any attachments, and shall specify what efforts have been made to comply with the page limitation and the length of the proposed filing.

If the motion to exceed page limitations is unopposed, a hearing is not required and a copy of the motion and a proposed order may be emailed to the division email for the Court’s review. If the motion is opposed, please set a hearing on UMC.

If the motion is granted, please upload a copy of the order granting the motion as a supporting document for the hearing.

(e) Page limitations set forth in these procedures do not include the caption or certificate of service. For example, if the motion for a special set hearing is a total of eleven (11) pages, but the caption consumes half a page, and the certificate of service consumes half a page, then the motion has met the ten (10) page limit for special set hearings.

(f) The length of the motion is not dispositive of whether the matter is appropriate for UMC or if it requires a special set hearing. Please be advised that the Court may require that a matter be specially set, even if the motion does not exceed the Court’s page limitations.

LOCAL RULE 02 | MOTIONS - GENERALLY

(a) Motions for Rehearing.

Please see Adm. Order # 2017-33-GEN

(b) Motions to Continue Trial.

In accordance with the Uniform Pretrial Order, continuances will only be considered for good cause on written motion prior to calendar call. Also, please comply with Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.460 and Fla. R. Jud. Adm. 2.545(e) regarding party consent. If a case is settled prior to the trial date, the scheduling party MUST immediately provide email notification to Ms. Zielinski.

(c) Motions to Withdraw.

If you do not have client consent in accordance with Fla. R. Jud. Adm. 2.505, please notice the client with both the motion and the notice of hearing. In the body of the proposed order granting withdrawal please include the client’s address, email address and phone number. If the client is not an individual, please include a statement that the entity must be represented by counsel who must file an appearance within 20 days from the date of this order or a default may be entered.

When an Order is granted on a Motion to Withdraw Attorney of Record, it is the attorney’s responsibility to log on to the State Portal and remove his name permanently from the service list https://myflcourtaccess.com/.

(d) Motions for Summary Judgment – Generally.

Pursuant to the Florida Supreme Court’s amendment to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.510 effective May 1, 2021, parties moving for summary judgment must support or oppose the motion with a statement of material facts. In the interest of judicial economy, in the interest of proper and careful consideration of each party’s statement of material facts, and in the interest of determining matters on summary judgment on the merits, the Court orders the parties to file any statements of material facts as follows:

(1) The moving party shall file a statement of material facts as a separate filing from a motion for summary judgment.

(2) The statement shall not exceed ten (10) pages.

(3) Each material fact in the statement that requires evidentiary support shall be set forth in an individually numbered paragraph and supported by a specific citation. This specific citation shall reference pages (and paragraph or line numbers, if applicable) of the cited exhibit(s). When a material fact requires evidentiary support, a general citation to an exhibit, without a page number or pincite, is not permitted.

(4) Each exhibit referenced in the motion for summary judgment and/or in the statement of material facts must be filed on the docket. Exhibits which have already been filed on the docket need not be refiled. If a deposition transcript is referenced, a complete copy must be filed which includes all exhibits. Within twenty-four (24) hours of filing a motion for summary judgment, the movant shall separately file an index of the cited exhibits which names each exhibit and references the docket entry at which that exhibit may be found.

(5) The responding party may file an opposing statement of material facts which responds to the moving party’s statement of material facts.

(6) The opposing statement of material facts shall not exceed ten (10) pages.

(7) A responding party’s opposing statement of material facts must specifically respond to each statement in the movant’s statement by setting forth each of the individually numbered paragraphs contained in the movant’s statement and after each paragraph, detail respondent’s response or opposition. By way of example:

Movant’s Statement of Material Facts

1. Blackacre is a vacant property located at 123 Main Street. Exhibit A 1.

2. Sarah Jones owns Blackacre. Exhibit B 12.

Respondent’s Opposing Statement of Material Facts

1. Blackacre is a vacant property located at 123 Main Street. Exhibit A 1.

Admitted that Blackacre is located at 123 Main Street. Exhibit A 1. Denied that the property is vacant. Exhibit C at 5.

2. Sarah Jones owns Blackacre. Exhibit B 12.

Denied as phrased. Admitted that the last recorded deed to Blackacre names Sarah Jones. Exhibit B 12.

(8) Each exhibit referenced in the response to the motion for summary judgment and/or in the opposing statement of material facts must be filed on the docket. Exhibits which have already been filed on the docket need not be refiled. If a deposition transcript is relied upon, a complete copy must be filed which includes all exhibits. Within twenty-four (24) hours of filing a response to the motion for summary judgment, the responding party shall separately file an index of the cited exhibits which names each exhibit and references the docket entry at which that exhibit may be found.

(9) In the event that cross motions for summary judgment are filed, the Court may order the parties to submit a consolidated statement of material facts and responses as appropriate. If cross motions are anticipated, the parties may jointly move for an order to file consolidated statements prior to filing the motions for summary judgment.

(10) A reply statement of facts is not permitted.

(e) Motions for Default Final Judgment.

A hearing may not be required if you have pled a specific dollar amount in the complaint. Please include a copy of that portion of the complaint that states the specific dollar amount with your Affidavit of Indebtedness. If you are seeking any relief beyond well-pled liquidated damages, a hearing is required. Minkoff v. Caterpillar Financial Services Corp., 103 So.3d 1049 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013). Attorney fees and other unliquidated damages will require a hearing. Quiet Title and Partition actions require an affidavit or certified copy of the deed upon which you rely.

LOCAL RULE 03 | HEARINGS

(a) Generally.

All hearings must be coordinated with opposing counsel. The scheduling attorney or party shall certify that they have consulted with all other parties in obtaining the hearing time in the notice of hearing pursuant to Local Rule 10A which governs the Uniform Motion Calendar, Ex Parte Motions to Compel Discovery and Special Set Hearings. The scheduling attorney or party shall secure the hearing time necessary to give all parties adequate time to argue the merits of the motion.

DO NOT ask the judicial assistant to get involved in the unilateral scheduling of online hearings. The CMS system was created so that both parties can coordinate the hearings. The judicial assistant is not an arbitrator of your scheduling disputes.

When the hearing is set on CMS, please upload the motion and all related papers as Supporting Documents at least three (3) business days prior to the scheduled hearing. For motions to dismiss, please include the complaint. For discovery matters, include the request if it is not part of the response. Instructions for uploading Supporting Documents are attached as Exhibit B. Please note - the Court does not have access to Lexis Nexis, therefore please include the Westlaw citations for all cases cited.

(b) Uniform Motion Calendar (UMC).

Please see Local Rule 10A with regard to UMC limitations and good faith certifications.

(1) Judge Fahnestock attempts to review each matter prior to the hearing. If your matter is resolved, please timely cancel your hearing online in the same manner in which it was set. Where possible, please cancel by 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the hearing. If you have any difficulty with Online Scheduling please email calendar@17th.FLCourts.org.

(2) Matters will be heard on a “first come, first served” basis. If opposing counsel is not present, please call them before your case is called.

(3) Please do not set matters on UMC that require a special set hearing. If you cannot find a special set hearing, please contact the JA to discuss your options.

(c) Special Set Hearings – 15 and 30 minutes.

Special Set Hearings for up to 30 minutes may be set online. Please do not contact Ms. Zielinski to set a hearing requiring 30 minutes or less, or to confirm the hearing after it has been scheduled. No add-on or cross-notices are permitted without agreement of the parties.

(d) Special Set Hearings – Over 30 minutes.

Hearings over 30 minutes must be coordinated through Ms. Zielinski. Please email a copy of your motion (with all attachments) to Ms. Zielinski and indicate how much time is requested for both sides. Counsel for all parties must be copied on your email. Ms. Zielinski will email potential hearing dates to you. Please note that the dates sent to you are sent to multiple other parties for other cases and the hearing gets set on a first come first serve basis and they fill up rather quickly. You must confer with the opposing side BEFORE you respond to Ms. Zielinski with an agreed date. Once a date has been agreed to by all parties, please advise Ms. Zielinski by email with a copy to all parties. Ms. Zielinski will then authorize you, by email, to serve and file a notice of hearing for the appropriate date. Failure to strictly comply with this procedure may result in the inability to schedule future special set hearings. Once the hearing has been set please do not contact Ms. Zielinski for additional confirmation.

No add-on or cross-notices are permitted without the Court’s approval.

(e) Cancellation of a Special Set Hearing.

In accordance with Local Rule 10A, special set hearings may not be cancelled absent an agreement on the merits or court approval. If your matter is resolved, please cancel your hearing online in the same manner in which it was set. Please cancel as soon as possible so that someone else may use the time slot. Otherwise, please cancel by 3:00 p.m. on the day prior to the hearing.

(f) Phone/Videoconference Hearings.

For the time being, all non in-person hearings will be by video conference (Zoom). Please see Exhibit A. If you require a telephonic hearing, please file a motion and email a copy of the motion to the Court and advise whether the motion is opposed or unopposed. Please include opposing counsel or the opposing party on all communications with the Court. The Court will advise you if a hearing is necessary on the motion. If you would like an in-person hearing, please upload a copy of your joint motion and a proposed agreed order to CMS and the Court will review your request. If the parties do not agree, please set the motion for hearing.

(g) Attorney Fee Hearings.

An attorney fee hearing will not be scheduled until there has been compliance with the attorney fee scheduling order. If entitlement is disputed, it will be determined first. Please provide Ms. Zielinski with a copy of your attorney fee motion so that a scheduling order may be issued.

(h) Emergency Hearings.

Please see Administrative Order # 2014-32-CIV.

(i) Case Management Hearings.
