Reviewer note: Document sha256: e048ddbca8a70c3afcf336de2a95e442a672a82ea0067e66cd5485b2192ea484 (87883 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. | Scope corrected 2026-08-03: the 18th numbers county-specific orders with -b (Brevard) and -s (Seminole); unsuffixed orders are circuit-wide. This rule was bulk-tagged to one county at harvest; the court's own numbering convention now controls. Text layer cleaned 2026-09-08 (Phase 3a): page markers removed; wording untouched. 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. [moved from the text 2026-09-14] [Corrected 2026-09-26: 1 bulleted sentence had been cut at a semicolon -- a list stem or item published without the rest of its sentence. 1 was removed because the rest of the sentence could not be published whole from the rule's own source (a list item or recital, a page chunk, or a source that is no longer reachable).] [Corrected 2026-09-26 (follow-up): the opening bullet -- the court caption glued to two WHEREAS recitals ending on list item (a) -- was removed once packet 100 removed item (b); recitals state the court's reasons, not a requirement.]
