150-Day Case Management Conference & Trial Setting — Division CV-E

AI Certificate Required on Every Filing — Division CV-E
[PREEMPTED effective June 15, 2026 by Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.515(d)(2) and AOSC26-12 — the statewide certification standard now controls.] Judge Anderson requires an Artificial Intelligence Certificate (Exhibit C) inserted above the signature block of every filing or submission — for lawyers and pro se parties alike. Omission is grounds for sanctions, including denial of the relief sought.
Ex Parte Hearings: Uncontested Only, 5 Minutes, 9–10 a.m. — Division CV-E

Proposed Orders: Circulate in 3 Working Days, Submit Within 7 — Division CV-E
When counsel is asked to prepare an order after a hearing, it must be drafted and circulated to opposing counsel within three working days and submitted to the Court within seven days of the hearing.
Two Conferral Certificates: Before Filing AND Before Setting Hearing — Division CV-E
CV-E layers a second conferral on top of Rule 1.202: certify conferral before filing the motion (Exhibit A) and again before scheduling it for hearing (Exhibit B).
