3. METHOD OF PROVIDING COURTESY COPIES : Courtesy copies may be provided by email. NOTE: The Clerk's office does not provide Judge Hernandez with copies of motions which Counsel submits through E-filing. Please serve Division F009 so that Judge Hernandez may directly receive a copy. Email: F009@jud11.flcourts.org
JAC MOTIONS : Submit the Motion to have Defendant Declared Indigent for Costs along with supporting documentation, JAC's response, and a proposed order, to chambers. If JAC does not request a hearing, the Court may enter the proposed order without a hearing after reviewing the documents. If JAC requests a hearing, or if Judge Hernandez has concerns after reviewing the Motion and supporting documentation, the JA will contact the attorney and set a hearing.
INCREASE/REDUCE BOND : File the original with the Clerk's office and email or hand deliver a copy to chambers. Counsel should, at a minimum, attach a copy of the A-form and defendant's criminal history to the Motion, along with any other documents Counsel wants Judge Hernandez to consider in increasing or reducing bond. The JA will email the attorney's office with the date that the motion will be on calendar.
SUPPRESSION MOTIONS : File the original with the Clerk's office and send a copy to chambers. Judge Hernandez's JA will place the case on calendar soon thereafter so the parties can select a special set date and time for the hearing.
