United States Magistrate Judge — S.D. Fla.
[SCOPE 2026-08-05] Federal-court record (US District bench): the portrait/biography pipeline has not been run for the federal courts - declared out of Florida-court launch scope in RELEASE-AUDIT (2026-08-03). No harvest attempted; not a court-side 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.
30-day recheck scheduled with the source monitor.
This tab lists judge-scoped rules only, and this judge has not published individual practice preferences through the court-designated guide — the courtroom still runs on the district's court-level rules: 74 verified requirements govern practice here. The Full Premium Report assembles every one of them, cited.
See all 74 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.
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.
The attributed-opinion corpus covers Florida's appellate review of state trial courts; federal judges are reviewed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, a separate corpus build. Absence here is a coverage statement, never evidence about this judge — the live case-law search below covers the federal courts directly.
