HEARINGS:

ALL hearings appearing via Zoom must be scheduled on the Court’s Zoom link below: The Court’s ZOOM link is https://zoom.us/j/93553574539 and ZOOM Meeting ID number is 935 5357 4539.

If joining the hearing via telephone, call 1-786-635-1003 or 1-470-381-2552 and then use the same meeting ID number referenced above. No additional password is required for attendance. The ZOOM App is available for free for IOS and Android devices, and it may also be accessed via desktop computer. This is a free service. The ZOOM Help Center is at https://support.zoom.us. Counsel/parties do not need to be together to use ZOOM and all parties and counsel should plan to appear separately.

Please input your actual name for the video conference or change the name of your device. Please input the case number of the case for which you are appearing along with your name so the Court is able to identify participants in each scheduled case. Testimonial evidence may be introduced by videoconference. Please make sure any testifying witness has a photo ID available to present over the videoconference.

Counsel may agree to submit motions and briefs by email and to the e-portal for the Court’s review and ruling in lieu of a hearing. If an in-person hearing is requested, please contact Judge Thomas’ assistant, Dorothy Gross, at gencivdiva@fljud13.org so we know to expect written submissions rather than a telephonic hearing or to discuss scheduling of an in-person hearing. Please do not submit briefing notebooks; submit your motions and memoranda by email if your hearing is not in-person.
