Circuit Criminal — Division CR-H (Duval)
Courtroom/hearing room 408/733
From the circuit's own Circuit and County Judges table, verified 2026-07-25.
Verified 2026-08-03: jud4.org publishes no judge portraits — the roster is a text table and the biographies page carries no judge photos. 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 Fifth District Court of Appeal (Daytona Beach).

4th Circuit publishes no individual judge page: the bench is a table and biographies and procedures are on shared county pages. Division, courtroom and phone taken from the table; the court publishes no biography for this judge.
6 verified rules specific to this judge's division, grouped by requirement category. 1,748 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. 8 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.

Division CR-H (Judge Branham per roster): each resolving case gets its own plea form (no consolidation), pleas over a victim's objection are specially set, special probation conditions go in the right section with deadlines, and the State provides the scoresheet before sentencing — the guidelines cite Navarro: sentencing without one is fundamental error.
Division CR-H (Judge Branham per roster) lets counsel skip calling a case at calendar via an "administrative pass" — but only with a status e-mail to the JA by 2:00 the day before, all counsel agreeing, a pass date within 3 weeks, no more than 2 consecutive passes, and never within 2 weeks of the FPT (FPTs cannot be passed).
