• Method of Communication:
All communications to the judicial office must be submitted
by e-mail to 22osceola@ninthcircuit.org. The subject line
must contain the relevant matter, case number, and case
name (e.g., 2-Hour Hearing Requested -2024 DR 001234 SC

• Ex parte Communications:
All communications with the judicial office must comply
with Canon 3 of the Code of Judicial Conduct, which
prohibits a judge from initiating, permitting, or considering
ex-parte communications and from considering other
communications outside the presence of the parties
concerning a pending or impending proceeding, unless
authorized by law. All parties must be copied on any e-mail
directed to the judicial office, unless an ex parte
communication is authorized by law Unsolicited
Communications:
Unsolicited communications from non-parties will not be
considered by the court. Parties may only contact the
judicial office in accordance with these practices and
procedures.
• E-Filing Portal Contact Information:
All attorneys and self-represented litigants must provide an
e-mail address to receive signed orders electronically,
unless excused. Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.516. It
is the responsibility of attorneys and self-represented
litigants to update their contact information using Form
2.603 any time there is a change in the e-mail account
registered for electronic service.
• Response to Inquiries:
The Judicial Assistant is not authorized to provide
legal advice or to interpret documentations.
The Judicial Assistant makes every effort to respond to all
inquiries. Due to the high volume of cases assigned to each
division, and the high volume of emails received daily, it
may take a few days before an email can be addressed. We

ask for your patience, and we advise that there is no need
for “follow up emails”.
When the judicial assistant is out of the office, your
message will be acknowledged as received with an
indication of when to expect a substantive response and an
alternate contact for immediate assistance.
• Other Communication Procedures:
Please remember the Judge’s office cannot receive EX-
PARTE communications from anyone. You MUST always
copy ALL parties on ANY and ALL e-mails, correspondence
and/or communications with this office.
Any e-mail sent to or from the judicial office may be a
public record subject to disclosure.
