There are many good things about E-filing. No stamps. No mail. No clocked in copies.
But there are so snafus. There is no standardized set of categories for motions. An amended motion for an Arthur hearing may be on the Menu in Duval County, but not Broward ("You want a bond? Surely you jest!").
But perhaps the biggest issue is the email addresses for the PDs and the SAO.
After a flurry of comments via FACDL, we can report the following:
SAO: Miamidadelostmotions@notjanetreno.com. Ok, small joke.
Here are the real addresses as of February, 2020.
efilingstatus@pdmiami.com
Felonyservice@pdmiami.com
efiling@Miamisao.com
OK, lets try and work this out. First, we can imagine the conversation:
"Hey Carlos, it's Kathy. Let's try and made the same e-filing portal. How about efiling at and then Miamisao or pdmiami?"
"Sorry Kathy, we like efilingstatus."
"But ours is easier."
"It's also easier not to file all those enhancements on cases. How about a little reasonableness in handling cases?"
"How about minding your own business?"
Click..click. There is no bipartisanship even at the local level in Miami. It's easier to get Mitch McConnell show up at Nancy Pelosi's birthday party then get the PDs and ASAs to agree on anything.
To resolve this problem, which is more intransigent than getting the West Bank issue resolved for the Israelis and Palestinians, why not felony@ and misd@ or misdemeanor@ and then the address for the SAO or PDs?
No, that would uniform and easy, and we cannot have that.
So then lets have some fun.
For the PDS we suggest
WemakemorethanAsas@pdmiami
pleaofferrejected@pdmiami
betterlawyers@pdmiami
notbennett@pdmiami
howaboutacontinuance@pdmiami
And for the SAO
Victimwantsthemax@miamisao
enhancement@miamisao
nodisco4you@miamisao
canyousayminman@miamisao
shewhocannotbenamed@miamisao
reelectkfr@miamisao
Coming up next: To save money Governor DeSantis suggests the PDs and SAO pool their money to buy office supplies. Carlos wants yellow legal pads while Kathy insists on white ones. Carlos wants blue gel roller pens, while Kathy wants black ballpoints....
Pobrecitos....discovery is hard and takes time!!!

based on the snooty attitudes of all these new female pds who are just itching to make a complaint (WHY Are you offering me your pen? Because I am a female lawyer and you don't think I am smart enough to have a pen? SEX DISCRIMINATION!! HEEEEELLLLP!!!!! - no, I offered you a pen because you don't have one and the judge asked you to write something down.)
ReplyDeletehow about this as an email #metoo@pdmiami.com ?
Well 2:15 if you can clear your sexist head for a minute, if you think about what the PDs do- defend people who say they didn't do it, then the email address should be
ReplyDelete#notme@miamipd.com duh.
BTW I always carry a half a dozen extra pens so I don't have to ask aging, leering male lawyers like you who always think that since I asked to borrow a pen, it obviously means I want to sleep with you and hear all your old boring war stories about how you never lost a case. Yuck.
Guess what? I am the guy who brought this to the attention of SAO and PD.
ReplyDeleteTech support at both contacted me. PD folks said thanks and we will fix it.
SAO folks lectured me on my responsibility to only email them at the correct address.
Today, I filed on the portal and SAO automatically popped up the bad address so, I manually filed in the correct one.

2:56 is on point.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with you people? A nice gesture of offering a pen, an open door, a uplifting word is called humans being kind to other humans and its the only thing you are called upon to do on Earth. Stop bending over backwards looking for reasons to be offended. Remember this. The most important virtue of a great lawyer is to first be a good person.
ReplyDeleteBut wait....I never lost a case...ever...and you still don't want me baby. Oh ohhooo. But you were a waitress at the local bar....when I met you.
