ORDER-PETITION AMENDMENT/SUPPLEMENT
|
|
After considering the rule and form amendments proposed in case no. SC11-399, as well as the comments addressed to the proposals, the supplemental comment from the Florida Courts Technology Commission (FCTC), and the issues discussed at the oral argument, the Court is pleased with the progress that has been made in developing rules and a phased-in implementation schedule for the mandatory electronic filing of documents in Florida courts. However, the Court has determined that certain aspects of the proposals need additional work. Accordingly, the Rules of Judicial Administration Committee (RJA Committee) and the FCTC are directed to convene a joint workgroup to address several issues of concern to the Court. The workgroup should also include, but not be limited to, representatives from the Criminal Procedure Rules Committee, the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association, the Florida Public Defender Association, and the Florida Association of Court Clerks and Comptrollers. The workgroup is charged as follows:
1. The Court has determined that the list of proposed exemptions from electronic filing in criminal cases is too broad. The workgroup should develop a revised proposal narrowing that list. In light of the fact that any document required by a Florida Statute to be filed in paper format will be exempted under proposed Rule of Judicial Administration 2.525(d), the workgroup also should address whether specific exemptions in criminal cases are, in fact, necessary.
2. The workgroup should address whether non-parties, especially "institutional" non-parties such as the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Florida Department of Corrections, should be required to file documents electronically. If it is determined that electronic filing by certain non-parties should be required at this time, the workgroup should propose appropriate rule amendments.
3. The workgroup should address how the phase-in schedule for electronic filing suggested by FCTC in case no. SC11-399, will impact the implementation of the mandatory electronic service rules proposed in case no. SC10-2101. In particular, the workgroup should consider whether the deadlines set out in the proposed phase-in schedule for mandatory electronic filing also should apply in implementing mandatory electronic service.
The RJA Committee and the FCTC are directed to file a joint supplemental report of the workgroup's findings and recommendations on the above issues. The joint supplemental report must be filed on or before February 6, 2012. Any interested parties who filed comments in case no. SC11-399 or case no. SC10-2101 may file comments on or before February 21, 2012. Comments should be limited to the issues addressed in the supplemental report. It is not the intent of the Court to revisit issues raised in prior submissions or to entertain additional comments on matters other than the three issues identified above. The RJA Committee and FCTC may file a response on or before March 2, 2012.
An original and nine copies of the supplemental report, any comments, and the response must be filed. In accordance with Administrative Order In Re: Mandatory Submission of Electronic Copies of Documents, Fla. Admin. Order No. AOSC04-84 (September 13, 2004), a copy also must be transmitted in an electronic format, as required by that order.

ORDER-RESPONSE/REPLY REQUESTED

It appearing that the technology is not in place for this Court and some district courts of appeal to accept and process electronic filings by the October 1, 2012, effective date in those courts for the e-filing rules adopted in the June 21, 2012, opinion in this case, the Court, on its own motion, finds it necessary to postpone that effective date.
Accordingly, the effective date for the e-filing rules and procedures in this Court is hereby postponed until December 1, 2012, at 12:01 a.m. E-filing will be mandatory in this Court on that date.
The effective date for the e-filing rules in each of the district courts of appeal is postponed until April 1, 2013, at 12:01 a.m. E-filing will be mandatory in the district courts on that date. However, as stated in the June 21, 2012, opinion, until the new rules and procedures take effect in the district courts, any clerk who is already accepting documents filed by electronic transmission may continue to do so; attorneys in these districts are encouraged to file documents electronically under the current rules. Clerks of court will not be required to electronically transmit the record on appeal until July 1, 2013, at 12:01 a.m. A revised opinion reflecting these changes in the effective date for appellate courts will follow.
Because the Court continues to recognize that some trial and appellate courts may not be able to comply with the implementation dates provided in the June 21, 2012, opinion and in this order, the waiver process provided for in the opinion will remain in effect. Any clerk may submit a request with this Court to delay the effective date of the e-filing rules and procedures in any court or division of a court. If the request is granted, an Administrative Order will be issued, which will be published on the Court's website and on the requesting court's website.
Further, the Florida Courts E-filing Authority (the Authority) is hereby ordered to file a status report with the Court on or before October 5, 2012, addressing the status of the statewide e-portal. The status report should provide an updated "Readiness Report" addressing each trial and appellate court. The status report also should specifically identify and explain, in detail, the reasons for delays. The report must explain why the e-portal is not currently available for electronic filing at each trial and appellate court and the action being taken to make it available.
The Florida Courts Technology Commission (FCTC) shall file a response to the Authority's status report addressing how the information provided in that report will affect the implementation schedule outlined in this order and in the Court's opinion. If FCTC determines that the new implementation dates for the appellate courts set forth in this order are not feasible, it should propose an alternate implementation schedule, which may include a phase-in plan. Although the implementation dates for the new rules in the trial courts remain unchanged by this order, FCTC also may propose new implementation dates for the trial courts, if warranted.
FCTC shall submit its response on or before November 1, 2012.

DISP-REHEARING GR
|

The Florida Public Defender Association (FPDA), The Florida Bar, Paul R. Regensdorf, and the Florida Courts Technology Commission (FCTC) have each filed motions for rehearing or clarification in Case No. SC10-2101. The Court previously entered orders granting FPDA's motion (filed in Case Nos. SC10-2101 and SC11-399), and granting FCTC's motion in part. The remaining motions and issues requiring clarification are addressed in this order. Full revised opinions will follow.
The Florida Bar's motion for clarification is hereby granted, as reflected in the revised opinion in Case No. SC10-2101.
Mr. Regensdorf's motion for clarification is hereby granted to the extent he requested that the Court amend Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.510(c) to delete
the reference to service by mail, clarify the format for electronic signatures, amend Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.515, and amend Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.516(b)(2)(F). All other requests for clarification are denied.
FCTC's motion for clarification is hereby granted, as reflected in the revised opinion in Case No. SC10-2101. FCTC's motion also identified several additional issues with the e-mail service procedures that it determined were not appropriate for consideration in this proceeding. Those issues are referred to the Rules of Judicial Administration Committee (RJA Committee), which is also working to identify portions of the e-mail service and e-filing rules that may require amendment.
Finally, because the Court recognizes that the new e-mail service and e-filing rules and procedures are a work in progress, any other suggestions to amend the rules should be submitted to the RJA Committee for consideration. The Committee should consider any suggested revisions under its fast-track procedures, and expeditiously submit an out-of-cycle report with any proposed amendments that it determines are warranted. The Court will consider the report under its fast-track procedures. Should the Court receive any further suggestions to revise the rules that were not submitted to the RJA Committee, the Clerk will refer them to the Committee for expedited consideration. See Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.140(a).

We would like to thank each of The Florida Bar rules committees and the Florida Courts Technology Commission, formerly headed by Judge Judith Kreeger, for their thorough and diligent work proposing comprehensive procedures for the electronic filing of court documents and a structured plan to phase in the new requirements. We also wish to thank those who submitted comments in this matter, including the E-Filing Authority, for their valuable input. We are especially appreciative of the cooperation from the Clerks of Court, who, in cooperation with the Court, understand the importance of the steps that are undertaken that will prove valuable to litigants and essential to the efficient, effective, and fair administration of justice. These collective efforts have assisted the Court in taking a significant and critical step toward our goal of a fully electronic court system. Accordingly, we amend the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, the Florida Rules of Judicial Administration, the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, the Florida Probate Rules, the Florida Small Claims Rules, the Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure, the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, and the Florida Family Law Rules of Procedure as set forth in the appendix to this opinion. New language is indicated by underscoring; deletions are indicated by struck-through type. The committee notes are offered for explanation only and are not adopted as an official part of the rules. The amendments shall become effective as provided in this opinion. It is so ordered.
