                      IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SECOND JUDICIAL CIRCUIT
                       IN AND FOR GADSDEN AND LIBERTY COUNTIES, FLORIDA

             UNIFORM ORDER FOR ACTIVE, DIFFERENTIAL CIVIL CASE MANAGEMENT

                In compliance with Florida Supreme Court directives on active, differential
        civil case management established in Supreme Court Administrative Order
        AOSC20-23, Amendment 12, and Second Judicial Circuit Administrative Order 21 -
        04, all parties in the above-styled cause are bound by this Case Management Order.

        Plaintiff shall serve this order on all parties with service of the original complaint.
        Strict enforcement is required unless good cause is shown for an exception or as
        otherwise required by law.

         I. PROJECTED TRIAL DATE

                All COUNTY COURT Civil cases are designated STREAMLINED CASES with a
         projected trial date of 360 days from the date of filing of the complaint.

               All CIRCUIT COURT Civil cases for which the complaint does not demand trial
        by jury are designated STREAMLINED CASES with a projected trial date of 360 days
        from the date of filing of the complaint.

                All CIRCUIT COURT Civil cases for which the complaint demands trial by jury
         are GENERAL CASES with a projected trial date of 540 days from the date of filing
         of the complaint.

               Achange in the above designations may be made by the presiding judge on
        the judge’s own initiative or upon motion of any party. Should any party assert
        that a civil case should be treated other than designated above, such party shall file
        a written motion requesting such change and the motion shall be expeditiously
        resolved by the presiding Judge.

        Il. Notice that Cause is at Issue and Firm Trial Date
                The parties must file a Joint Notice that the Cause is at Issue no later than
        15 days after the pleadings are closed. In the event of a dispute, either party may
        file a motion and request a hearing to determine if the cause is at issue.
Upon joint notice or judicial determination that the cause is at issue, the
Court will schedule a Firm Trial Date consistent with the Projected Trial Date above
unless either party requests a different date in their Notice that the Cause is at
Issue. Should either party request a Firm Trial Date different than the Projected
Trial Date, the Plaintiff shall expeditiously set a case management conference to
determine the Firm Trial Date.
