Florida Appellate Deadline Calculator
The date an order is rendered starts a clock that does not stop for anyone. This works out the dates that follow under the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, with weekends and Florida legal holidays rolled forward.

Set the date the order was rendered. The dates that follow are the ones that matter, each with the rule that sets it. Weekends and Florida legal holidays are rolled forward.
Read this before you use it. This calculator is not legal advice and using it does not create an attorney–client relationship. It applies a few general rules to a date; it knows nothing about your case. It can be wrong. A real deadline can turn on whether the order is final, whether a motion was authorized and timely, whether the court has extended or shortened a time, or whether a different rule governs altogether, none of which this can see. Do not rely on any date it produces. Check every one against the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure and the court’s own docket, and if a deadline matters, speak to a lawyer.

Nothing typed here is sent anywhere. The whole calculation happens inside your own browser, so no detail of your matter reaches this firm or anyone else, which also means the firm has no record of it and no deadline of yours is being watched by anyone here.
Appellate deadlines are short.
