Reviewer note: Document sha256: 770f978a423fd5573c972f699a7ac4fed313cdbf5b1526cbd4442f45367c42de (96109 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it.

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.
