Judicial Section Details

Circuit Criminal Division will provide access to court both in person and via Zoom in a hybrid fashion for all daily calendars.

The following must take place in person unless the parties and the judge agree to proceed on Zoom and the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure and the Florida Supreme Court’s Administrative Order allow: (1) evidentiary hearings; (2) bench and jury trials; and (3) most pleas. At the discretion of the division judge, all other matters may be conducted via Zoom at the preference of the parties.

PLACING CASES ON CALENDAR: To place a case on Judge Stuzin's calendar, please email your request and copy of the motion to jmartinez@jud11.flcourts.org. All parties to the case must be included in the email. Upon review of the motion, the Judicial Assistant will respond via email confirming a hearing date. Please DO NOT send emails to the division email for requests to set a hearing. 

MOTIONS FILED AFTER SOUNDING: The purpose of a Sounding is to address motions to compel, trial readiness and continuances.  If after a sounding, a party believes there is still outstanding discovery, they are no longer ready for trial or they believe the other side is not ready for trial because they filed last minute witnesses and/or motions, all those issues will be handled the day of trial. Please do not request an earlier hearing date. If motions are filed after the sounding, please send chambers a courtesy copy to address on the day of trial. 

The only exception to this rule is for special set trials. The Court will set a motion for continuance after the sounding and before the trial date if the trial has been special set.

E-SERVICE/E-COURTESY:  Please add F006@jud11.flcourts.org (Division email) to your service list to ensure Chambers receives copies of motions submitted through e-filing. 

Division F006 Daily Calendar begins at 9:30am.
