Reviewer note: Source sha256: a92293c1b2203f2ab2f1a59f406c47139b1e6569f3a5a27ece744db768d5feec. Corpus categories: SCHEDULING_OR_CANCELLATION, CONTINUANCES, CONTINUANCES | SCHEDULING_OR_CANCELLATION. Operative status as recorded: LIVE_PAGE_CURRENT_AS_CRAWLED. Published during the 2026-07-24 completeness pass. SOURCE DRIFT MEASURED 2026-07-24: the page(s) these requirements were captured from have been edited since capture. A live re-read found 35 of 36 published requirements (97%) still present on 1 source page (/courts-judges/judge-luis-bustamante/judge-luis-bustamantes-division-procedures/). The missing text may have been reworded, moved, or withdrawn — BenchPath does not guess which. Confidence held at high because the overwhelming majority survived verbatim. Re-verify before relying on any single clause.
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.
