Judge Daniel splits binder practice by hearing length: short hearings (UMC 5–7 min, CMC 15/30) get NO binders with authority filed 3 business days ahead; 45-minute-plus hearings may have binders — but only by mail or courthouse drop-off, never e-mail.
Florida > Thirteenth Judicial Circuit > Hillsborough County > Circuit Civil Division H (Judge Helene L. Daniel)
"For UMC Hearings 5-7 minutes, CMC Hearings 15 and 30 minutes long ...: NO MORE BINDERS PLEASE." / "For Hearings 45 minutes and longer: Hearing binders may be provided to the Court at least 3 business days prior to the hearing and must be submitted via regular mail or dropped off at the courthouse. No Emails."
