In re FLORIDA RULES OF JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION.
No. 54525.

Supreme Court of Florida.
June 14, 1979.
PER CURIAM.
On June 30, 1978, the Court promulgated new Florida Rules of Judicial Administration[*] designed to update and consolidate a number of related provisions that had previously appeared throughout the Court's civil, criminal, appellate, and transition rules. These rules were made effective on July 1, 1978, subject to Court revision on the basis of comments submitted by any interested persons not later than December 31, 1978.
The Court has received and appreciates the many thoughtful suggestions filed by judges, lawyers, and judicial personnel throughout the state. We have reviewed each matter carefully, and many of the recommendations have been adopted and incorporated into the rules. In addition, minor technical and drafting changes have been made to enhance the clarity and internal consistency of these rules.
The appended Florida Rules of Judicial Administration, as revised, shall take effect at 12:01 a.m. on July 1, 1979. (For the purpose of identifying modifications, we have underscored language that has been added and used strike-throughs to indicate language that has been deleted. Mere capitalization and punctuation changes are not reflected.)
Upon these rules becoming effective, the following provisions of our other rules shall stand repealed or amended, as indicated:
1. Rule 8.020 is repealed in its entirety.
It is so ordered.
ENGLAND, C.J., and ADKINS, BOYD, OVERTON, SUNDBERG, HATCHETT and ALDERMAN, JJ., concur.
