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.
Florida > Thirteenth Judicial Circuit > Hillsborough County > Civil Traffic M / NCNT T / Family IV-D Y (Judge Mary Lou Cuellar-Stilo)
"Remote appearances, including by Zoom, are not available in this Division unless otherwise ordered by the Court." / "Filed motions that have been pending for sixty (60) or more days without being scheduled for a hearing are presumed to be denied without prejudice" / "the unwarranted designation of a motion as an "emergency" may result in sanctions."

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.
