AO 3.09 v3 (eff. Jan 20, 2026) imposes Florida's hardest at-filing case-management requirement verified so far: in every county and circuit civil case the plaintiff must sign the standing CMO (Appendix A), file it WITH the complaint, and serve it with the complaint on every named defendant — and the Clerk is directed not to accept the case for filing without it. A fillable version is published alongside the order.
All civil actions except those listed in Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.200(a), circuit-wide (Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Gilchrist, Levy, Union).
In each civil case, the standing civil case management order (attached hereto as Appendix A) shall be signed by the plaintiff and filed in the court file along with the complaint. The plaintiff shall cause the standing order to be served, along with the complaint, on each named defendant. The Clerk shall not accept a civil case for filing [without it].

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.
