Official rule; awaiting reverification against the current source text. Verify with the clerk, judicial assistant, or official court website before relying on it.
Judge Daniel's signature rule: a discovery-issue hearing (compel, sanctions, protective order) stays on calendar even if the dispute resolves — counsel must appear in person and explain why the motion was filed; only complete settlement of the case removes it.
Florida > Fourth Judicial Circuit > Duval County > Circuit Civil Division CV-F (Judge James H. Daniel)
"A hearing set for a discovery issue will not be removed from the calendar for any reason. Even if the issue is resolved the attorneys/parties are required to come in-person before the Judge to explain the reason(s) for the filed motion" / "The only exception a discovery issue hearing can be removed from the calendar is when the case completely settles." / "Remote appearances are not permitted for hearings on a discovery issue"
