Unless a party elects to invoke the limited concurrent jurisdiction of the lower tribunal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.600, any motion ﬁled subsequent to the ﬁling of the notice of appeal shall be ﬁled with the appropriate Clerk’s Oﬃce’s appellate division.

Motions for extension of time must be ﬁled in strict conformance with Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.300(a). These motions shall be acted upon as soon as possible, as service of a motion may toll the time for future acts related to the event for which the extension is sought. Fla. R. App. P . 9.300(b). Each such motion, except those for which the practice is clearly inappropriate, shall contain an express representation that either opposing counsel has been contacted and has no objection to the relief requested, or that opposing counsel will promptly ﬁle an objection. Fla. R. App. P . 9.300(a). 12 . Practitioners should note that excessive motion practice is discouraged. Unnecessary or duplicative motion practice may result in the imposition of sanctions pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.410. O RAL ARGUMENT 13.

If oral argument is granted, the judicial assistant for the judge assigned to the appellate division shall coordinate the time and place of the argument with the parties and an appropriate order will be issued. It is important that requests for oral argument are timely considered so as to aﬀord counsel suﬃcient time to prepare in the event that oral argument is granted. The Court may also require oral argument on its own motion. Fla. R. App. P . 9.320.
