South County Criminal/Civil Division E — Sarasota County
South County Criminal/Civil Division E. AO 2026-05.4 renders the name "Erika N. Quartermaine".
Verified 2026-08-02: this circuit publishes NO judge portraits. The 1st's Sanity CMS judge documents carry no image field at all (38 checked via the content API), and the 12th's Judges page serves only a logo, an email-signature graphic and an Adobe button. The missing photo is a court fact, not a harvest gap.

This tab lists judge-and-division rules only, and this judge's division publishes its practice at the county, circuit, and statewide layers instead — 320 verified requirements still govern this courtroom. The Full Premium Report assembles every one of them, cited.
See all 320 in the Full Premium Report →No judge-level deadline on record runs shorter than a statewide deadline with the same trigger. The sentinel compares quoted timing across every published rule scoped to this judge on each visit — a clean result today is re-earned tomorrow.
No judge-scoped deadlines on this tab. Deadlines are extracted only when the source rule text states them — we never infer or calculate dates the rule does not explicitly contain. 6 rule deadlines apply in this courtroom across all layers — assembled with citations in the Full Premium Report.
Timing shown here is quoted from the rule text. Compute your actual date against the court's calendar and the rule itself — not legal advice.
No verified ruling summary yet. BenchPath generates ruling summaries from opinion and docket corpora (CourtListener where covered) and publishes them only after human review — fabricated judicial analytics are exactly what this platform refuses to ship.
