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. • DETENTION HEARINGS FOR JUVENILES ON WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS WHEREAS, the Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure require the physical presence of juveniles at all hearings, in the absence of waiver or specific finding that juvenile’s mental or physical condition precluded his presence; and WHEREAS, juvenile detention hearings conducted under Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure 8.010 are to be conducted before a judge in the county where the incident occurred, where the child is taken into custody, or where the child is detained; and WHEREAS, it is necessary for these detention hearings to be conducted on weekends and holidays; it is ORDERED that effective immediately all weekend and holiday detention hearings shall be conducted in person at the Okaloosa County Courthouse Annex in Shalimar. • The Department of Juvenile Justice shall transport the juveniles to the Courthouse Annex in Shalimar, unless otherwise notified by the office of the current Duty Judge that the hearing will be held at the Okaloosa County Jail in Crestview. • Further, there shall be two Department of Juvenile Justice Detention Personnel accompanying the juveniles to the hearings, one to remain with each juvenile as they are escorted in and out of the hearings and one to remain with the juveniles awaiting their appearances before the Court.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: 3eb547e9f3fab4818b2f45c5b41d4ab7d5fd5c308c4f63c65777fd288b61284a (38721 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.
Judge Shull requires ALL motions set for special-set hearing to go to mediation before the hearing is held.
Judge Burkhart will not schedule a temporary-relief hearing until mediation has been held ON the temporary relief sought — mediation first, hearing second.
Judge Sharrit refers ALL cases to mediation (exceptions only by leave) and openly encourages Special Magistrates under Rule 1.490(b) to beat the hearing-time bottleneck.
