2. All orders must describe, in the caption, the subject and ruling of the court, i.e. “Order Granting Plaintiff’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Liability.” See Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.100(c)(1).
3. If there is an unrepresented party involved in the case not using e-Portal, the proposed Order must be submitted to the Court in writing, with sufficient copies for an original to be entered by the Court and a copy for each party not using e-Portal. Further, the party presenting the proposed Order, shall be responsible for providing addressed, stamped envelopes for parties not using the e-Portal;
4. If all parties before the Court are using e-Portal, the proposed Order may be emailed to the Court in Microsoft Word format; and
5. The proposed Order service list must contain e-filing addresses for opposing counsel/unrepresented party. If an unrepresented party does not receive e-filings, counsel must immediately mail or hand deliver to the Court an addressed, stamped envelope.
6. If the parties are unable to agree on the form of the order, both sides shall present their respective proposed orders to the court for consideration within seven (7) days of the hearing with copies to opposing counsel. The party objecting to the proposed order shall also present a “redline” or “blackline” version, in Microsoft Word format, of the proposed order to the Court, together with a transcript of the hearing if a Court Reporter was requested by any party. The purpose of providing the Court with a “redline” or “blackline” version, in Microsoft Word format, of the proposed order is to allow the Court to compare the versions of the competing proposed orders to consider and comprehend what has been changed, revised or added. Copies of any such “redline” or “blackline’ version of the proposed order and hearing transcript shall be provided to opposing counsel/unrepresented party.
7. If you want to know if a specific order has been signed by the Judge, you should first check the Clerk of Court’s records system to confirm it has been docketed as the Judicial Assistant is unable to track the signing of a specific order.
2. That all opposing counsel/unrepresented parties have been provided with the same materials being provided to the Court, and whether the parties agree with the language of the proposed Order.
