LOCAL RULE 08 | SPECIAL SET HEARING – OVER 30 MINUTES
The moving party must first e-file the motion and then send a courtesy copy along with a cover letter indicating the length of time sought for the hearing to the division email account. This request for a hearing over 30 minutes MUST BE submitted electronically through e-mail to: DIV12@17TH.FLCOURTS.ORG. You MUST include all parties in email. Once the Judge reviews your motion, the Judicial Assistant will contact the moving party to coordinate a hearing date and time. After confirmation of a special set date and time, the Judicial Assistant will enter an order specially setting the hearing. If a response is filed, a courtesy copy must be uploaded to CMS as a Supporting Document at least five (5) business days prior to the hearing.
ANY SPECIAL SET HEARINGS OF MORE THAN 30 MINUTES CANNOT BE CANCELLED WITHOUT ORDER OF THE COURT UNLESS THE PARTIES HAVE AN AGREED ORDER RESOLVING THE MATTER PRIOR TO HEARING DATE.
Counsel, in good faith, shall secure the hearing time necessary to give all parties adequate time to argue the merits of the motion.
If pleadings are not filed with the Clerk of Court and uploaded to CMS your hearing will be cancelled.
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,
