It is the responsibility of the NOTICING PARTY’S TO TIMELY CANCEL A HEARING through the Online Scheduling System and TIMELY NOTIFY THE COURT of a cancellation.
Filing a Notice of Cancellation, without also cancelling the Online Scheduling System, is insufficient; if you do not cancel the hearing online, that time will not be available online for others to schedule their hearings. The Court is not notified by the Clerk of Court! If a hearing is cancelled, please send an email to Div25@17th.FLCourts.org, with the copy of the Notice of Cancellation.
DO NOT send hard copies of Motions to the Division, ALL paperwork needs to be uploaded electronically through CMS “Supporting Documents” - any questions please contact division 25.
