Pretrial Motions Not Heard by the Transferring Judge Are WAIVED — Trial Division 3

Judge Wolfe enforces AO S-2024-062(28)(A) with teeth: every pretrial motion in a case transferred to TD-3 must be scheduled and heard by the original transferring judge — failure to do so timely is deemed a waiver.

Case ManagementHillsborough County · Civil Traffic M / Non-Crim Non-Traffic T / Family IV-D Y · Judge Mary Lou Cuellar-Stilo

Traffic Is In Person; Motions Idle 60 Days Are Presumed Denied — Civil Traffic M

Judge Cuellar-Stilo's Civil Traffic division takes no Zoom absent a court order, presumes motions pending 60+ days without a hearing denied without prejudice, and treats unwarranted "emergency" labels as sanctionable — with counsel expected available nights and weekends for real ones.
