Important Notice Regarding Special Set Hearings in Division AI
Special Set Hearing slots of 15 or 30 minutes are obtained from the Online Scheduling System. FOR SPECIAL SET HEARINGS, PARTIES ARE GIVEN THE OPTION OF APPEARING IN PERSON IN THE COURTROOM OR VIA ZOOM; however, hearings that are scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. or later will be now be held via Zoom only. The order specially setting the hearing will reflect this. Once the hearing slot has been selected from the system, an order setting the hearing will be generated, which will contain the Court’s Zoom information if one or both parties wish to appear via Zoom. The order is then submitted for signature and e-served through the Online Scheduling System. Please note that special set hearings are set by court order, not by notice of hearing.
In accord with the Order Setting Special Set Hearing, send all materials (notebooks, binders, etc.) in hard copy five (5) days in advance of the hearing for Judge Curley’s review. If submitting a volume of materials (e.g., a binder) please ensure that the materials are bookmarked to allow the Court to transition through the materials efficiently. As noted above, when sending the paperwork for a hearing on a Motion to Dismiss, please provide the Judge with a copy of the OPERATIVE PLEADINGS. On a motion to compel discovery, please provide the operative discovery.
For lengthy hearings (i.e., more than 30 minutes) email a letter to CAD-DivisionAI@pbcgov.org specifying the amount of time requested and include a courtesy copy of the motion(s). Available dates/times will be provided. The party requesting the hearing will be responsible for conferring with the opposing parties and informing the court via email at CAD-DivisionAI@pbcgov.org of the agreed-upon date and time. An order specially setting the hearing will then be generated.
An Evidentiary Hearing requiring more than two (2) hours will receive an order placing it on a non-jury trial docket with a calendar call date.
