Reviewer note: Source sha256: 263915d06311e7bf3267a241522715b088730f55e906d78ee43acfafca32a35e. Corpus categories folded into this record: continuance. Published during the completeness pass — the 2026-07-24 arbitration verified 67 verbatim requirements across this bench but published only 6 rules.
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.
