Judicial Assistant- Hanh Nguyen: HNguyen@Jud11.flcourts.org
Coordination of Hearings: 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 on a date that the Court holds Motion Calendar.
Failure to “coordinate” entitles the moving party to set the motion for hearing on the offered date. Amount of Motions: You may set up to three motions. Notices of Hearing: Although the movant and the parties listed on the service list at the time the hearing is set will receive an email from CourtMap indicating that an event has been created, a notice of hearing WILL NOT be generated. The movant MUST e-file the notice of hearing via the e-portal system. It is the responsibility of the scheduling party to provide the Zoom information to anyone not on the service list, including parties to be served via physical mail. Cancellations: To cancel a motion, parties are required to: 1. Notify the Judicial Assistant via email including all parties 2. File a Notice of Cancellation (notice shall include the date/time of hearing, and Docket entry numbers of motions) 3. The moving party must then cancel the motion calendar hearing on CourtMap. NO HEARING WILL BE CANCELLED VIA PHONE CALL.
Motion for Continuances must comply with Fl. R. Civ. P. 1.460. If both sides agree on a Continuance of Trial, please submit an agreed order through CourtMap with new calendar and trial dates and send an email to the JA with a copy of the signed order to get a new order setting trial.
Responses: Any opposition to a filed Motion must be filed, served, uploaded to CourtMap and emailed to the parties, no later than five business days prior to the date of the hearing or the Court may simply grant the relief requested. Motions to Dismiss: When setting a Motion to Dismiss for hearing, upload the Motion and the Complaint as supporting documents to the CourtMap hearing date. Failure to set the Motion to Dismiss for hearing can result in the Court striking the Motion and entering a default. Organized electronic copies are preferred by this Court. No hard copies nor binders are necessary.
