Find the division's foreclosure calendar days, times, and caps on its page
Divisions publish their own grids — e.g., 11th Circuit CA 05 hears foreclosure motions Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m.; CA 10/46 Wednesdays only at 9:00 a.m.
Rule: Judge Vivianne Del Rio — Section CA 05 motion calendars →Confirm which motions belong on the foreclosure calendar versus special set
Sale-related and case-dispositive motions are often special-set; short foreclosure motions ride the calendar.
Notice the hearing through the division's scheduler with the required lead time
Lead times run three to seven business days depending on the division; courtMAP-style systems enforce their own caps.
Handle original note and mortgage exactly as the division instructs — never mail chambers unasked
Divisions specify clerk delivery with tracking (11th Circuit CA 02 directs originals to the Clerk's Notes-and-Mortgages unit; CA 21 requires hand delivery or FedEx).
Rule: Judge Lourdes Simon — Section CA 02 motion calendars →Respect the per-case time limit and motion caps
Five minutes per case with one-or-two-motion caps is the common foreclosure-calendar pattern; check the grid.
Upload the judgment or order through the division's channel after ruling
Rule: Proposed Orders: Word Format via Online Services — Division AO →Steps marked “check the division's instructions” vary by judge — that variance is exactly what BenchPath tracks. Search your county and division for the specific requirements before relying on the generic sequence. Not legal advice.
