Palm Beach DCM: agreed orders can extend a deadline but never the trial date — continuances need a DCM conference

Medium — verify before relying· verified July 24, 2026Deadlines & Time ComputationAO 3.110-12/24 (15th Cir.); Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.200(e) and 1.460; circuit Civil Differentiated Forms and Orders page

Official rule; awaiting reverification against the current source text. Verify with the clerk, judicial assistant, or official court website before relying on it.

Summary

Two different channels. A deadline that does not touch trial or Calendar Call can move by agreed order. A trial continuance cannot: it requires a Rule 1.460 motion and a DCM conference set through OLS, and agreed orders are expressly not permitted.

Applies to

Circuit Civil and County Civil, Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (Palm Beach County). Divisional Instructions control which OLS docket to use. Procedural information only — not legal advice.

Requirement

EXTENSIONS OF DEADLINES OTHER THAN TRIAL/CALENDAR CALL — "The parties must strictly follow Rule 1.200(e) and Administrative Order 3.110 (as amended) when filing motions for extension or modification. Parties may submit an agreed order to extend a deadline only if the extension does not affect the trial/Calendar Call date or the ability to comply with the remaining dates in the case management order." MOTIONS TO CONTINUE TRIAL — "Motions to continue trial must comply with Rule 1.460, are disfavored and should rarely be granted and then only upon good cause. The parties must promptly set a DCM conference through online scheduling (OLS) on either the Court's 1) DCM – Case Management Conference docket; or 2) Uniform Motion Calendar, in accordance with Divisional Instructions. Parties are not permitted to submit an agreed order." The practical trap: counsel who agree to a discovery extension that pushes past the DCMO trial period have not obtained a continuance and must still set the DCM conference.

Source of truth
