Judge Farfante's Business Court runs initial CMCs on UMC with a mandatory Case Management Report per Local Rule 3.13, SMITH/JONES-style e-mail subject lines, and a hard rule: do not e-file the notice until the JAWS confirmation e-mail arrives.
Florida > Thirteenth Judicial Circuit > Hillsborough County > Business Court Division L (Judge Darren D. Farfante)
"A Case Management Report must be uploaded and e-filed for this hearing, pursuant to Local Rule 3.13 (See Business Court Rules)." / "IMPORTANT: Please wait to receive the JAWS scheduling email before e-filing, to ensure your hearing time is confirmed by the court." / "The Court will accept and review hard copies of any hearing materials in three-ring binders received at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to any hearing."

Judge Wolfe enforces AO S-2024-062(28)(A) with teeth: every pretrial motion in a case transferred to TD-3 must be scheduled and heard by the original transferring judge — failure to do so timely is deemed a waiver.
Judge Rice mirrors the F-division waiver with an exception: all motions other than motions in limine must be filed AND heard before the Pretrial Conference or they are waived; limine motions must at least be filed by then.
