A deadline change requires good cause based on an emergency or unforeseen issue and compliance with Rule 1.200; specified delays and counsel unavailability are not good cause.
The Court will consider a request to approve changes to these deadlines upon a showing of good cause by either party based on matters arising from an emergency nature or unforeseen issues. The party must take action consistent with Rule 1.200. However, now that the Case Management Plan has been entered by the Court, procrastination in completing discovery, failure to file motions within sufficient time to have the hearing completed by the above deadline or the unavailability of counsel will not constitute good cause for a change to these deadlines.
