Circuit-wide civil case management under Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.200/SC2023-0962: case-track assignment within 120 days, model CMO deadlines (fact/expert discovery 270 days streamlined / 450 days general; trial 12/18 months), strict enforcement, and express authority for individual judges to publish supplemental DACMS orders on their webpages — so the assigned judge's page must always be checked.
Effective Jan. 1, 2025 (rescinds/supersedes A-2021-13). Key provisions verified from hashed PDF: ¶7 Case track assignment "[n]ot later than 120 days"; §D (CMO issuance): "In streamlined or general cases, the court must issue the case management order no later than 120 days after commencement of the action"; model CMO table: completion of fact and expert discovery "Within 270 days after the complaint is filed" (streamlined) / "Within 450 days after the complaint is filed" (general); trial 12 months (streamlined) / 18 months (general); §C deadlines "will be strictly enforced" unless changed by court order. Judge-supplement clause (verbatim): "Individual judges assigned to civil dockets within the Fifth Judicial Circuit ... may build upon this Administrative Order to meet the needs of their individualized courtroom policies by making and publishing their own DACMS orders on their webpage." NOTE ON AI CLAUSE: the ATTACHED MODEL differentiated CMO contains "IF ANY GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY IS USED IN PRODUCING A PLEADING OR MOTION IT MUST BE NOTED ON THE FACE OF THE PLEADING OR MOTION." — that model clause is PREEMPTED from June 15, 2026 by AOSC26-12 and is inconsistent with A-2026-13-A §2.D; the case-management deadlines themselves remain fully operative. 2026 Word versions of the DCMO and Stipulated CM Plan are posted on the Civil Case Management page.
Individual judges assigned to civil dockets within the Fifth Judicial Circuit ... may build upon this Administrative Order ... by making and publishing their own DACMS orders on their webpage.
Reviewer note: Hashed 2026-07-20 (sha256 2d0ed60b…). Arbitration correction: a prior research pass quoted the 120-day CMO sentence with Rule 1.200-style wording ("as soon as is practicable...") marked VERBATIM — the actual order text differs; BenchPath's verbatim controls.
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.
