Reviewer note: Complete-coverage record. Page sha256: bedf7674c716da5e77aa2b4dd06a3b32ba56ae3676c30b2acee7ef0868bd60cb. Clauses under 60 characters (navigation labels and section headings) were excluded; 628 such fragments were dropped circuit-wide.

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.
