LOCAL RULE 16 | CANCELLATION OF ANY HEARING
Further, all special set hearings greater than 30 minutes must be coordinated with the Judicial Assistant. Please send an email (listed above) with the case # and name, reason, and amount of time needed. Your office will be emailed or called to coordinate a date.
All counsel must consult to clear dates to make sure that you do not try to squeeze a hearing into a time slot that does not provide adequate time to resolve the motion! No “add-on’s” will be permitted without approval of the court. If the matter settles, or you need to obtain a new date, you must notify the judge’s office within 24 hours of the hearing.
Hearings that have been posted to the Special Set Docket may only be cancelled by parties if an agreement on the merits has been reached and the parties have entered into a written stipulation, or with court approval (Local Rule 10A).
The courts are overburdened with an increased caseload. If you do not cancel specially set hearings, it causes a waste of judicial resources, as other litigants would likely be unable to utilize the time set aside.
All parties must confer prior to scheduling the hearing and in good faith attempt to reach a resolution of the issues.
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to understand certain local rules to recover from the damages that lawbreaking judges/lawyers have inflicted upon you (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
As always, please get the justice you deserve.
Sincerely,
