Rule 3.725 requires filing and service of the Case Management Statement no later than 15 calendar days before the CMC or review. Filing and service are both required. Calculate from the actual scheduled date and check any applicable order. Do not confuse this calendar-day period with the court-day periods used for many motion papers.
Documents and facts to assemble
- The actual conference date and deadline calculation
- The filed CM-110 and timely proof of service
Track filing and service as separate tasks
A completed statement sitting in the file does not show that filing and service were finished. Keep the conference notice, calendar entry, filing confirmation, and service record together. If the conference date changes, review the new notice and any order before reusing the old calendar entry. Record who will prepare, file, and serve the statement so that each task has an owner.
Practical checklist
- Confirm the conference date from the current notice and docket.
- Record preparation, filing, and service as separate checklist items.
- Retain the filed statement and service record, and review any later scheduling order.
