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.
Florida > Thirteenth Judicial Circuit > Hillsborough County > Trial Division 3 (Judge Mark R. Wolfe)
"ALL PRETRIAL MOTIONS FOR ANY CASE TRANSFERRED TO TRIAL DIVISION 3 FOR TRIAL, MUST BE SCHEDULED AND HEARD BY THE ORIGINAL ASSIGNED TRANSFERRING JUDGE. THE FAILURE OF ANY PARTY TO TIMELY FILE AND SET FOR HEARING ANY PRETRIAL MOTION BEFORE THE ORIGINAL TRANSFERRING JUDGE WILL BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF THE MOTION BY THIS COURT." / "Requests for remote appearances must be made at least (10) days in advance of a hearing."
Reviewer note: Cross-model verified (accordion + PDF veins) 2026-07-05. 30-day recheck scheduled.
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.
Judge Cuellar-Stilo's Civil Traffic division takes no Zoom absent a court order, presumes motions pending 60+ days without a hearing denied without prejudice, and treats unwarranted "emergency" labels as sanctionable — with counsel expected available nights and weekends for real ones.
