Florida > Fourth Judicial Circuit > Duval County > Division CV-B (Judge Katie L. Dearing)
"Courtesy copies of motions and memoranda should be delivered to the Court at least three days before a scheduled hearing... voluminous pleadings (more than 20 pages, including attachments) must not be emailed."
Reviewer note: Verbatim excerpts from the judge's published procedures; 30-day recheck scheduled. | 2026-08-03: the source (rendered DOM (headless Chromium)) no longer contains this rule's quoted text; dropped to medium pending re-composition against the current version. [VERIFY WAVE 2026-08-04: order renders only inside the Duval Clerk's application and returned the loading placeholder on the final capture pass, or is a scanned image with no text layer (OCR class); custody holds the document bytes. The July-verified excerpt stands; confidence held at medium pending patient re-capture or OCR. Named reason, not a silent gap.] [RECOMPOSED VERBATIM 2026-08-04 (campaign wave, division-follow): matched the division code on the court's directory to the sitting judge's own procedure document, sha256 671880119ab01d0ace1530c588e633048e9d54abb62e6b4d13708c8f57ca2232; source_url repaired to the document quoted.]
