STANDING ORDER IN CIRCUIT CIVIL CASES IN THE
TWENTIETH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT
PURSUANT to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.200(a), Florida Rule of Judicial
Administration 2.545, and Administrative Order 1.13 entered by the Chief Judge of this Circuit,
the parties are ordered to adhere to the following information and procedures applicable to civil
lawsuits:
1. SERVICE OF THIS ORDER, The Plaintiff is directed to serve a copy of this Order
with each Summons issued in this case. One copy of this Order is to be filed with the
Clerk of the Circuit Court with proof of service. The Plaintiff shall pay the appropriate
statutory clerk’s fees on copies for each Standing Order issued and attached to the
Summons.
CIVIL CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. The Supreme Court of Florida has
established guidelines for the prompt processing and resolution of civil cases. This
Court has adopted a case management system to help meet those guidelines. In
contested cases (other than residential foreclosures, involuntary commitment of
sexually violent predators, Extraordinary Writs, 90 day Notice of Medical Malpractice
Claim, and Administrative Appeals), the parties are required to participate in the case
management system. The Court will issue a Case Management Plan after 150 days of
the filing of a case in the event the parties have not submitted an Agreed Case
Management Plan that has been approved by the Court. However, if it becomes
necessary to amend the court-issued Case Management Plan, the parties may submit
an Agreed Case Management Plan, subject to approval by the Court, or if the parties
cannot agree on an Amended Plan, the parties may request a case management
conference. The form of the Agreed Case Management Plan may be accessed at the
Court’s website at: http://www.ca.cjis20.org/web/main/civil.asp. If a case
management conference is scheduled, attendance by trial counsel and those parties
who are not represented by counsel is mandatory.
Unless all of the Defendants have been served and have defaulted, an Agreed Case
Management Plan will be submitted to the Civil Case Manager via email at
collieragreedplan@ca.cjis20.org on or before 150 days from the date of filing the
initial complaint.
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR). ADR provides parties with an
out-of-court alternative to settling disagreements. The Court requires the parties to
participate in ADR prior to trial. Mediation is mandatory unless the parties agree to
another form of ADR. Mediation is a conference at which an independent third party
attempts to arrange a settlement between the parties. The Court, at its discretion, may
order the case be referred to Non-Binding Arbitration. Non-Binding Arbitration is the
process in which the court refers a case to a registered arbitrator, or panel of
arbitrators, who will hear evidence and make an award which may become a final
judgment if a Motion for Trial De Novo is not timely filed pursuant to Fla. R. Civ. P.
1.820(h).
FAILURE TO PROSECUTE. The Court will issue a Notice of Intent to Dismiss a
case if there is no record of activity within a ten (10) month period of time.
RULES OF PROFESSIONALISM. The Twentieth Judicial Circuit has adopted
Administrative Order 2.20, which sets forth standards of professional courtesy and
conduct for all counsel or pro-se litigants practicing within the Circuit. The Court
requires that all familiarize themselves and comply with Administrative Order 2.20.
Administrative Order 2.20 may be viewed on the Court’s website at:
