Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. • Magistrates appointed within the First Judicial Circuit shall be deemed appointed to hear all matters arising from Marchman and Baker Acts within the First Judicial Circuit under the direction of the primary Circuit Judge assigned to such matters in each county within the First Judicial Circuit; and 2. • Magistrates shall be responsible for making reports and recommendations regarding treatment and treatment facilities to the Court for all matters under Chapter 394 and 397 unless otherwise excluded by the specific provisions of such Chapters or case authority. 3. • The duties and responsibilities of a Magistrate shall not be limited to the above- stated functions, but rather shall serve under the direction of the Chief Judge and the respective Circuit Judges as the Court’s judicial representative on all mental health matters.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: b86587f0adb84ff37cdebcfef27e07f261c7200ff7fd381f84f2fe310f129579 (76947 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it.
The 17th Circuit's circuit-wide AI disclosure/certification mandate (Jan 2026, twice amended) was VACATED in its entirety effective June 15, 2026 by Chief Judge Phillips's AO 2026-19-Gen, expressly citing the statewide framework (AOSC26-12; Rule 2.515(d)(2), SC2026-0673). Several division procedure pages still cite the vacated order.
Every circuit-civil case reviewed within 120 days of commencement and assigned a track (complex, streamlined, or general); case management orders required; firm continuance policy; sanctions for missed deadlines. Rescinds AO 21-09.
Circuit-civil hearing-availability standards: motion calendars ~2 weeks from request; 15-30 min special sets within 45-60 days; longer special sets scale.
