RULE 12.090. TIME

(a) Computation. Computation of time shall be governed by
Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.514.

(b) Enlargement. When an act is required or allowed to be
done at or within a specified time by order of court, by these rules,
or by notice given thereunder, for cause shown the court at any
time in its discretion (1) with or without notice, may order the
period enlarged if a request is made before the expiration of the
period originally prescribed or as extended by a previous order, or
(2) on motion made and notice after the expiration of the specified
period, may permit the act to be done when failure to act was the
result of excusable neglect. However, 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 12.540(b), taking an appeal or filing a petition for
certiorari, or making a motion for a directed verdict.

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