The Motion for Continuance must indicate whether the motion is opposed or unopposed by the other party or parties to the case. If the continuance is agreed to by all parties, you may submit a proposed Agreed Order electronically through the E-Orders system and the Court will review the court file and take one of the following actions: grant the continuance, grant the continuance with modifications to the proposed order, or reject the proposed order and require the parties to set the matter for a hearing. If the continuance is opposed, you must set a hearing on the motion.

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.
