(1) Parties must exchange set of pre-marked exhibits (including summaries) intended 

to be offered as evidence at the evidentiary hearing. All exhibits must include the 

party’s role in the matter or adversary proceeding (i.e., “plaintiff” or “movant”) and 

be sequentially numbered. When exhibits are exchanged electronically, Movant(s) 

and Respondent(s) shall also include a short descriptive name of each exhibit, e.g., 

"mortgage", "note", or "letter dated xx/xx/xxxx" in the file name of each exhibit. 

(2) Presentation and exchange of exhibits shall conform to Local Rule 9070-1. As 

noted in Local Rule 9070-1, counsel representing any party shall submit the exhibits 

and exhibit register via CM/ECF, while a party not represented by counsel shall 

email the documents to the Clerk of Court at ProSeExhibits@flsb.uscourts.gov, 

listing the appropriate case or adversary number and the date of the evidentiary 

hearing in the reference line of the email. The exhibits so filed shall constitute the 

official exhibits in this matter. 

(3) With regard to any summary the party will offer in evidence at the hearing, the 

submitting party must provide a notice of the location(s) of the books, records, and 

the like, from which each summary has been made, and the reasonable times when 

they may be inspected and copied by adverse parties. 

(4) Each party must prepare a separate exhibit register based upon the Local Form 

Exhibit Register (LF-49), a Word version of which is available on the Court’s 

website. 

B. Witness Lists: 

                                                            

1 The Exchange of Exhibits and Witness Lists is governed by the Court’s Order Setting Filing 

and Disclosure Requirements for Pretrial and Trial [ECF No. 4] (the “Scheduling Order”), as 

amended.

Each party presenting witnesses must provide all other parties with a list showing 

the name and, if not previously provided, the address and telephone number of each 

witness that the party may call at the hearing other than solely for impeachment. 

C. Objections to Exhibits: 

Any objection to the admissibility of any proposed exhibit, including any 

deposition transcript or recording (audio or video) or any summary must be 

submitted pursuant to the deadlines set forth above. The objection must (i) identify 

the exhibit, (ii) briefly state the grounds for the objection, and (iii) provide citations 

to case law and other authority in support of the objection. An objection not so 

made—except for one under Federal Rule of Evidence 402 or 403—is waived 

unless excused by the Court for good cause. 

D. Expert Reports: 

If expert reports are to be used at the Hearing, the parties shall exchange such 

reports pursuant to the deadlines set forth above. 

E. Joint Stipulation: 

The respective parties shall file a joint stipulation of uncontested facts on or before 

the deadline set forth above. Counsel for all parties shall sign the stipulation of 

uncontested facts. The failure of counsel to prepare and submit the joint stipulation 

may result in sanctions. THIS SUBPARAGRAPH SHALL NOT APPLY IF 

ONE OF THE RESPECTIVE PARTIES IS SELF-REPRESENTED AND IS 

UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO ENTER INTO THE JOINT STIPULATION. 

6. FINAL ARGUMENT. At the conclusion of the hearing, in lieu of final argument, the 

Court may request that each party file a proposed order with findings of fact and 

conclusions of law. 

7. SETTLEMENT. If the contested matter is settled, the parties shall submit to the Court a 

stipulation approved by all parties and a motion for approval of the same prior to the date 

of the hearing. If a stipulation and motion are not submitted to the Court, all parties shall 

be prepared to proceed with the hearing. If the contested matter is removed from the 

calendar based upon the announcement of a settlement, the contested matter will not be 

reset for hearing if the parties fail to consummate the settlement. In such event, the Court 

will consider only a motion to enforce the settlement, unless the sole reason the settlement 

is not consummated is that the Court did not approve the settlement, in which case the 

matter will be reset for hearing at a later date. 

8. SANCTIONS. Failure to appear at the hearing or to comply with any provision of this 

order may result in appropriate sanctions, including the award of attorney’s fees, striking 

of papers, or the exclusion of exhibits or witnesses.

must be requested by written motion. Any request for continuance or amendment to this 

order shall set forth the status of discovery and shall state the reasons why the party or 

parties seek a continuance.
