____________________________________/
STANDING ORDER IN CIVIL CASES IN THE TWENTIETH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT
Amended March 10, 2020
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.
2. 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 mortgage foreclosures which have a separate standing order and case management
track), and involuntary commitment of sexually violent predators “Jimmy Rice” cases unless
otherwise ordered by the presiding judge, the parties are required to participate in the case
management system. The case management system requires early consultation and cooperation
among the parties for the preparation and submission of an Agreed Case Management Plan, early
interaction with a Civil Case Manager and early involvement by the Court. The Agreed Case
Management Plan requires the parties to identify a case track, confer in a good faith attempt to
narrow the matters in controversy, identify the issues that require direct involvement by the
Court, and establish a schedule for addressing those issues.1 The Agreed Case Management Plan
may be accessed at the Court’s website at: [http://www.ca.cjis20.org/web/main/civil.asp].
Unless all of the Defendants have been served and have defaulted, an Agreed Case
Management Plan will be submitted to Lee County Civil Case Management, at 1700 Monroe
Street Fort Myers, Florida 33919 or by email to Civilcm@Ca.cjis20.org, on or before 150 days
from the date of filing of the initial complaint. If all defendants have been defaulted an Agreed
Case Management Plan is not required and the plaintiff shall file a Motion for a Default Final
1
Case Track options include Expedited, Standard or Complex. Case Tracks have been established in order to
comply with the case disposition standards set forth in Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.250(a)(1)(B).
Judgment and set same for an evidentiary hearing. If the parties are unable to agree on an Agreed
Case Management Plan, a case management conference will be scheduled by the Court. If a case
management conference is scheduled, attendance by trial counsel and those parties who are not
represented by counsel is mandatory.
3. 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. Non-binding arbitration maybe required for jury trials of more than 3 days
and non jury trials of more than 2 days or less at the discretion of the presiding judge.
4. 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: http://www.ca.cjis20.org/web/main/ao_admin.asp
5. CONTACT INFORMATION. Attorneys and self-represented litigants are required
to keep the court apprised of their current address, telephone and email address. This information
is also required to be included in all pleadings filed in your case.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Fort Myers, Lee County, Florida.
