Reviewer note: Complete-coverage record. Page sha256: 6997cd52bf0ce905a60cc4bffab0749909cd12a6f02d57eb5c3908926d737dd5, 06a876b86c90c9220e722957da968278e69f890ae7deb15994ae32daf2b2df8a. Sourced from 2 division tabs: https://www.15thcircuit.com/division/jl/docket ; https://www.15thcircuit.com/division/jl/instructions. Clauses under 60 characters (navigation labels and section headings) were excluded; 628 such fragments were dropped circuit-wide. A separate curated highlight rule may cover one of these clauses with a sharper title — de-duplication is an open curation task, not a data gap.
Florida follows the federal summary-judgment standard. The motion must be served at least 40 days before the hearing; the nonmovant's response is due no later than 20 days before the hearing.
How Florida procedural deadlines are computed: exclude the trigger day; count every day for periods of 7 days or more; for periods under 7 days, skip intermediate weekends and legal holidays; roll forward when the last day is a weekend or holiday.
Judge Siperstein requires every motion to be set within 5 days of filing and heard within 60 days, or it may be deemed abandoned.
