RULE 1.090. 	TIME
(a) 	Computation. Computation of time shall be governed by
Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.514.
(b) 	Extending Time.
(1) 	In General. When an act may or must be done
within a specified time, the court may, for good cause, extend the
time:
(A) 	with or without motion or notice if the court
acts, or if a request is made, before the original time or its extension
expires; or
(B) 	on motion made after the time has expired if
the party failed to act because of excusable neglect.
(2) 	Exceptions. The court may not extend the time for
making a motion for new trial, for rehearing, or to alter or amend a
judgment; making a motion for relief from a judgment under rule
1.540(b); taking an appeal or filing a petition for certiorari; or
making a motion for a directed verdict. Extensions of deadlines in
case management orders are governed by rule 1.200 or rule 1.201,
and trial continuances are governed by rule 1.460.
(c) 	Unaffected by Expiration of Term. The period of time
provided for the doing of any act or the taking of any proceeding
shall not be affected or limited by the continued existence or
expiration of a term of court. The continued existence or expiration
of a term of court in no way affects the power of a court to do any
act or take any proceeding in any action which is or has been
pending before it.

(d) 	For Motions. A copy of any written motion which may
not be heard ex parte and a copy of the notice of the hearing thereof
shall be served a reasonable time before the time specified for the
hearing.
