Verified rules for this judge's division
"General Objections" Get Stricken — With Monetary Sanctions — Division CV-H
Judge Feltel's discovery regime: General Objections are stricken and sanctioned, untimely responses presumptively waive objections, unverified interrogatory answers do not count, and Rule 1.380 fee-shifting to the prevailing party is the DEFAULT.
One Unanswered E-Mail Is NOT Conferral — Division CV-H
Judge Feltel enforces Rule 1.202 with teeth: a single e-mail that goes unanswered does not satisfy conferral, and he expects the good-faith-conferral narrative to be "the lengthiest part of the Motion to Compel."
PTCs In Person by TRIAL Counsel; Voluminous Materials on a Flash Drive — Division CV-H
Judge Feltel requires trial counsel personally at pre-trial conferences ("A CRITICAL STAGE"), holds all 30-minute-plus hearings in person, and has retired the binder era: courtesy materials 5 days ahead electronically, voluminous sets on a flash drive.
Six Motion Types Are Decided on the Papers — 14-Day Response Clock — Division CV-H
Judge Feltel routinely decides Motions to Dismiss, Judgment on the Pleadings, Strike, Leave to Amend (non-punitive), Extensions, and Rehearing WITHOUT a hearing: respond within 14 days, reply within 14, then the movant e-mails the ripe packet to the JA.
