SUMMONS / NOTICE TO APPEAR FOR PRETRIAL CONFERENCE/MEDIATION
STATE OF FLORIDA - NOTICE TO PLAINTIFF(S) AND DEFENDANT(S)
LARRY BROWN,
7937 DAWSONS CREEK DR
JACKSONVILLE, FL_ 32222-4905
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that you are required to appear in person or by attorney at: 501 WEST
ADAMS STREET, 2379 JURY ASSEMBLY ROOM, 2%? FLOOR, JACKSONVILLE FL, 32202
ON OCTOBER 20, 2022 AT 1:30 PM.
IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY
THIS CASE WILL NOT BE TRIED AT THE PRETRIAL CONFERENCE,
BUT MAY BE MEDIATED AT THAT TIME.
DO NOT BRING WITNESSES. YOU MUST APPEAR IN PERSON OR BY ATTORNEY.
WHOEVER APPEARS FOR A PARTY MUST HAVE FULL AUTHORITY TO SETTLE FOR ALL AMOUNTS FROM ZERO
TO THE AMOUNT OF THE CLAIM WITHOUT FURTHER CONSULTATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN
THE IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS INCLUDING COSTS, ATTORNEYS FEES, ENTRY OF JUDGMENT, OR DISMISSAL.
THE DEFENDANT(S) must appear in the court on the date specified in order to avoid a default judgment. THE PLAINTIFF(S) must
appear to avoid having the case dismissed for lack of prosecution. A written MOTION or ANSWER to the court by the plaintiff(s) of
defendant(s) shall not excuse the personal appearance of a party or its attorney in the PRETRIAL CONFERENCE/MEDIATION.
The date and time of the pretrial conference CANNOT be rescheduled without good cause and prior court approval.
A corporation may be represented at any stage of the trial court proceedings by an officer of the corporation or any employee authorized in
writing by an officer of the corporation. Written authorization must be brought to the Pretrial Conference/Mediation.
The purpose of the pretrial conference is to record your appearance, to determine if you admit all or part of the claim, to enable the court to
determine the nature of the case, and to set the case for trial if the case cannot be resolved at the pretrial conference. You or your attorney
should be prepared to confer with the court and explain briefly the nature of your dispute, state what efforts have been made to settle the
dispute, exhibit any documents necessary to prove the case, state the names and addresses of your witnesses, stipulate to the facts that will
require no proof and will expedite the trial, and estimate how long it will take to try the case.
Mediation
Mediation may take place during the time scheduled for the pretrial conference. Mediation is a process whereby an impartial and neutral
third person called a mediator acts to encourage and facilitate the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties, without prescribing
what the resolution should be. It is informal and non adversarial processes with the objective of helping the disputing parties reach a
mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement.
In mediation, decision making rests with the parties. Negotiations in the county court mediation are primarily conducted by the parties.
Counsel for each party may participate. However, presence of counsel is not required. If a full agreement is not reached at mediation, the
remaining issues of the case will be set for trial. Mediation communications are confidential and privileged except where disclosures are
required or permitted by law.
If you admit the claim, but desire additional time to pay, you must come and state the circumstances. The court may or may not approve a
payment plan and may withhold judgment or execution or levy.
RIGHT TO VENUE. The law gives the person or company who has sued you the right to file in any one of several places as listed
below. However, if you have been sued in any place other than one of these places, you, as the defendant(s), have the right to request
the case be moved to a proper location or venue.
A proper location or venue may be one of the following:
(1) where the contract was entered into;
(2) if the suit is on an unsecured promissory note, where the note is signed or where the maker resides;
(3) if the suit is to recovery property or to foreclose a lien, where the property is located;
(4) where the event giving rise to the suit occurred;
(5) where any one or more of the defendants sued reside;
(6) any location agreed to in contract;
(7) in an action for money due, if there is no agreement as to where suit may be filed, where payment is to be made.
If you, as the defendant(s), believe the plaintiff(s) has/have not sued in one of these correct places, you must appear on your court date and orally
request a transfer, or you must file a WRITTEN request for transfer in affidavit form (sworn to under oath) with the court 7 days prior to your
first court date and send a copy to the plaintiff(s) or plaintiff(s) attorney, if any.
A copy of the statement of claim shall be served with this summons.
