Motion Calendar Days/Time:
* Updated February 2023 *
Motion Calendar via Zoom are available Tuesday and Thursday at 10:00 a.m. and Wednesdays at 11:00AM.
Hearings shall be “coordinated” with all counsel and unrepresented parties. “Coordinated” means that the moving party offers a date upon service of the motion and all others respond within one (1) business day with agreement to the offered date or an alternate date(s) that is/are within a week of the offered date and is on a date that the Court holds Motion Calendar. Failure to so “coordinate” entitles the moving party to set the motion for hearing on the offered date. You may set more than one motion at a time but your case will be heard at the end of the motion calendar.
To Make Calendar: Select available date and time via courtMap. The filed motion(s) and all documents in support must be attached when the hearing is scheduled. Once a green "Success" message appears, the hearing has made calendar. You must still prepare, file and serve a Notice of Hearing.
Responses: Unless otherwise instructed by the Court or as required by an applicable rule of Court, any opposition to a filed Motion shall be filed, served, uploaded to CourtMap and emailed to the Court (dgonzalez-varona@jud11.flcourts.org) no later than two (2) business days prior to the date of the hearing, absent which the relief requested in the Motion may be granted without oral argument.
Cancellations: The moving party may cancel a hearing on a motion calendar on CourtMap.
