Courtroom 11.1216
On this assignment since June 8, 2026
Main Judicial Complex — 11.1216 / courtroom 11C
Administrative Judge designation verified from AO 11.101-06/2026 asterisk legend. Related-orders page still links vacated AO 2.109 (tracked holdover).
Verified 2026-08-03: the 15th's own judges grid publishes assignment and phone facts but no biography prose. A court fact, not a harvest gap.
Captured verbatim from the court's own published pages and orders during circuit verification. Chambers practices change without notice — confirm anything time-critical with the judicial assistant. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Appeals from this courtroom go to the Fourth District Court of Appeal (West Palm Beach).
● LiveThat court's published bench (11): Alan O. Forst, Burton C. Conner, Caroline Shepherd, Cory J. Ciklin, Johnathan D. Lott, Jonathan D. Gerber, Mark W. Klingensmith, Melanie G. May, Robert M. Gross, Shannon K. Shaw, Spencer D. Levine

Verified against AO 11.101-06/2026 (signed 6/5/2026, eff. 6/8/2026 — fetched + sha256-hashed cb1b9451…, all 4 pages transcribed) and the live division instruction page (fetched + hashed 2026-07-22).
12 verified rules specific to this judge's division, grouped by requirement category. 834 total requirements apply in this courtroom across all layers — the Full Premium Report assembles the complete stack.
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.

Joseph Curley's full public case-law record from the source, newest first — your matter never narrows the pull; it directs the relevance ranking and the dual-AI analysis.
