Reviewer note: Page sha256: 23f9d0aa74b6a92c630fbba9e720abf9b5c8ae1797adb1b4791bd55812cf8ee1. Corpus topic: continuances. Published during the completeness pass — the 2026-07-24 arbitration verified this circuit but published 14 rules against 6,388 verbatim requirements.
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.
