AO 9.01 (v2026-1, Assignment of Alachua County Circuit and County Cases to Divisions, eff. March 10, 2026) is the division-definition order for Alachua County. AO 9.17 (v1, same date) reassigned Alachua circuit-civil cases into the newly created circuit civil division (CA4), and AO 9.16 maintains case-draw percentages on reassignment.
8th Cir. Admin. Order 3.09 (v3), pp. 1-5
The standing CMO provisionally designates every case GENERAL; streamlined follows Rule 1.200(b)(2) criteria (limited discovery, established issues, few dispositive motions, minimal documents, trial ≤3 days); complex proceeds under Rule 1.201. Projected disposition: non-jury trial at the first regular trial term one year — and jury trial eighteen months — from the earlier of initial process on the last defendant or 120 days after commencement. Other verbatim deadlines: 120-day service (Rule 1.070(j)); new parties within 180 days of the complaint; fact AND expert discovery complete 75 days before trial; summary judgment filed 90+ days before the pretrial conference and set for hearing immediately; objections to pleadings and all pretrial motions resolved 30+ days before pretrial; ADR concluded 90+ days before trial; conferral required before filing ANY motion; firm continuance policy — good cause only.
8th Cir. Admin. Order 10.07 (v5), Acceptable Computer Use Policies (eff. Jan. 30, 2026), §13
The Eighth Circuit never adopted an attorney/litigant AI disclosure or certification order — a full sweep of all 262 hashed administrative orders and 768 per-document receipts found no filer-facing AI provision (the Harvey and "co-counsel" hits were false positives). The circuit's only current local AI provision is internal: AO 10.07 (v5, Acceptable Computer Use Policies, eff. Jan 30, 2026) §13 permits court staff to use AI tools "when such use is specifically authorized" and bars feeding CJI, confidential or sealed case information, PII, or network details to external AI services. Filers are governed solely by statewide law: amended Rule 2.515(d)(2) (SC2026-0673) and AOSC26-12 (both eff. June 15, 2026).
8th Cir. Admin. Order 9.05 (v1sp) (Nov. 13, 1984)
Judge profiles publish office rooms, not courtrooms. Courtroom locations in Alachua County are set week to week under AO 9.05 (v1sp, Assignment of Courtrooms, Alachua County Courthouse — Nov 13, 1984, still current in the directory), implemented today through the published weekly courtroom calendars for the Mickle Criminal Courthouse and the Family and Civil Justice Center (both in BenchPath custody). Check the weekly calendar, not the judge's office room.
8th Cir. Admin. Order 3.09 (v3), Standing Case Management Order in County and Circuit Civil Cases (eff. Jan. 20, 2026), pp. 1-2
AO 3.09 v3 (eff. Jan 20, 2026) imposes Florida's hardest at-filing case-management requirement verified so far: in every county and circuit civil case the plaintiff must sign the standing CMO (Appendix A), file it WITH the complaint, and serve it with the complaint on every named defendant — and the Clerk is directed not to accept the case for filing without it. A fillable version is published alongside the order.
