IF YOU SET MORE THAN 2 MOTIONS PER CASE THEY WILL BE CANCELLED.
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/JA 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 DOCUMENT" ON COURTMAP TO THE HEARING. ALSO, PLEASE ATTACH A COPY OF THE NOTICE OF HEARING IN THE "SUPPORTING DOCUMENT" TAB ON COURTMAP.
