Commencing March 1, 2025 -- Judge Fernandez-Karavetsos' reoccurring link for Motion Calendar ONLY is:
Motion Calendar (Tuesday) https://zoom.us/j/94905510769 Motion Calendar (Thursday) https://zoom.us/j/95275466259
"5-MINUTE" MOTION CALENDAR The 5-Minute Motion Calendar takes place on Tuesday afternoons from 1:30 P.M. to 2:30 P.M. and on Thursday mornings from 9:30 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. This calendar is for non-evidentiary matters only. Only 2 Motions per case will be heard on the same day.
IF YOU SET MORE THAN 2 MOTIONS PER CASE THEY WILL BE CANCELLED. This calendar will be heard via Zoom and a Zoom link will be sent prior to the hearing via CourtMAP. Please make sure that you check Junk Mail as well as your Inbox since the link is sent directly from CourtMAP.
Please note as in a courtroom, you will be waiting for the Host until the Bailiff/JA brings you out of the Waiting Room and into the Hearing Room. Make sure to name yourself correctly on the Zoom account, so that the Bailiff can identify you as the correct party for your case.
To set a matter on the Court's Motion calendar for hearing via courtMAP:
1. Search for the Court's Motion calendar availability (found on courtMAP).Motion calendar hearings CAN BE unilaterally set. 2. Create the event on CourtMAP (set your hearing), upload all supporting documents (filed motion, notice of hearing, division hearing request form, etc.). HEARINGS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY NOTICED WILL BE CANCELLED. *DO NOT create multiple events (set multiple hearings); the system allows for two (2) motions to be set for each case.* **The Court will not hear more than two (2) motions per case per motion calendar.** *Once a green "Success" message appears, the hearing has made calendar.
IMPORTANT: 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 automatically generate. The movant MUST e-file the notice of hearing via the e-portal system. Include 11thFC17@jud11.flcourts.org in all filings.
A MOTION WHICH IS NOT PROPERLY NOTICED WILL NOT BE HEARD BY THE COURT.
YOU MUST ATTACH THE MOTION(S) BEING HEARD AS A "SUPPORTING DOCUMNET" ON COURTMAP TO THE HEARING.
