Judge Allen: every hearing is in person (no phone/Zoom for small-claims initial pretrials), 60-minutes-or-less books through JAWS — and even after the parties agree, the movant must appear at the scheduled time unless a timely cancellation or signed stipulation reached the division.
Florida > Thirteenth Judicial Circuit > Hillsborough County > County Civil Division O (Judge Lisa A. Allen)

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.
