ORDER FOR CASE MANAGEMENT AND REQUEST FOR AGREED CASE
MANAGEMENT PLAN IN PENDING CIVIL CASES
IN THE FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT FILED ON OR BEFORE APRIL 29, 2021
(DCMSO)
Pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.200(a), Florida Rule of General Practice and
Judicial Administration 2.545, and Administrative Order 3.108 entered by the Chief Judge of this
Circuit, the parties are informed of the following information and procedures applicable to pending
civil lawsuits filed on or before April 29, 2021:
1. SERVICE OF THIS ORDER. The Plaintiff is directed to serve a copy of this Order
issued in each pending case. One copy of this Order is to be filed with the Clerk of the Circuit
Court with proof of service.
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, the parties
are required to participate in the case management system. The case management system requires
consultation and cooperation among the parties for the preparation and submission of an Agreed
Case Management Plan. The Agreed Case Management Plan requires the parties to identify a case
track, confer in a good faith and 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.!
The Agreed Case Management Plan may be accessed at the Court’s website at:
https://1 Stheircuit.comy civil-differentiated-forms-and-orders.
Unless all of the Defendants have been served and have defaulted, an Agreed Case Management
Plan must be submitted to the assigned divisional queue via the Court’s online scheduling system
(OLS) as an attachment, in PDF format, to a proposed Order Accepting Agreed Case Management
Plan by the following deadline as determined by the age of the case:
Cases Filed Before December 31, 2018: June 1, 2021
' Case Track options include Expedited, Streamlined, General, or Complex. Case Tracks have
been established in order to comply with the case disposition standards set forth in Florida Rule
of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.250(a)(1)(B).Cases Filed Between January 1, 2019-December 31, 2019: July 1, 2021
Cases filed January 1, 2020 and later: August 2, 2021 or 140 days from the filing
of the complaint, whichever is later.
If the parties are unable to agree on an Agreed Case Management Plan by the applicable deadline,
a case management conference will be scheduled by the Court or the Court will review and issue
an Order Implementing Case Management Plan without agreement of the parties. No matters that
arise as a result of this standing order, including lack of agreement, will be set on the Court’s
Uniform Motion Calendar and will, instead, be settled by the Court either at the case management
conference or via an Order Implementing Case Management Plan without agreement of the parties.
If a case management conference is scheduled, attendance by trial counsel and those parties who
are not represented by counsel is mandatory.
If all Defendants are served and defaulted or dropped, the Plaintiff will file the appropriate
documentation to pursue a Default Final Judgment within 130 days from the date of the filing of
the complaint and Final Judgment is to be entered or set for hearing within 150 days of the filing
of the complaint.
3. MEDIATION/ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR). ADR provides
parties with an out-of-court alternative to settling disagreements. Mediation is a type of ADR
wherein an independent third party attempts to arrange a settlement at a conference between the
parties. The Court requires the parties to participate in Mediation prior to trial unless the parties
agree to another form of ADR.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County,
Florida, on this 26 day of April, 2021.
