Pretrial Motions Not Heard by the Transferring Judge Are WAIVED — Trial Division 3

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.

High confidence· verified August 3, 202613th Jud. Cir., Judge Wolfe Practices & Procedures (Trial Division 3), citing AO S-2024-062(28)(A)

Case ManagementHillsborough County · Circuit Criminal Division I · Judge Elizabeth G. Rice

Motions (Except Limine) Waived If Not Heard Before the PTC — Criminal I

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.
