To avoid unnecessary judicial labor and to assist this Court in eliminating unnecessary administrative delays in cases in which defendants have been sentenced to death, this Court, on its own motion, hereby adopts the following amendments to the Florida Rules of Judicial Administration.[1]
Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.050(b)(4) is hereby amended as follows:
Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.050(b)(7) is hereby amended as follows:
Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.050(h) is hereby created to read as follows:
These amendments to the rules shall become effective upon the filing of this opinion. Because these rule amendments are being adopted by the Court without prior notice to interested parties, we hereby direct that all interested parties may submit comments regarding these amendments within thirty days from the date of this opinion. Consideration of comments, however, will not alter the effective date of the amendments.
It is so ordered.
