Rules of Juvenile Procedure

Rule: 8.180

Jurisdiction: FL

Bluebook Citation: Fla. R. Juv. P. 8.180

(a) Computation. Computation of time shall be governed by Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.514, except for rules 8.013 and 8.010, to which rule 2.514(a)(2)(C) shall not apply and the statutory time period shall govern. (b) Enlargement of Time. When by these rules or by a notice given thereunder or by order of court an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified time, the court for good cause shown may, at any time, in its discretion: (1) with or without notice, order the period enlarged if request therefor is made before the expiration of the period originally prescribed or as extended by a previous order; or January 1, 2026 Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure Page 104 of 469 (2) upon motion made and notice after the expiration of the specified period permit the act to be done where the failure to act was the result of excusable neglect. But it may not, except as provided by law or elsewhere in these rules, extend the time for making a motion for a new trial, a motion for rehearing, judgment of acquittal, vacation of judgment, or for taking an appeal. This rule shall not be construed to apply to detention hearings.
