Florida Office of the State Courts AdministratorCircuit Criminal Other Statistics


Bond Hearings - A bond hearing is a proceeding in which a judge considers a defendant’s pretrial release status for the purpose of setting or modifying bond or other pretrial release status.

Adversary Preliminary Hearings - An adversary preliminary hearing is a proceeding in which a judge considers evidence presented to determine whether there is sufficient cause to hold the accused for trial.

Post Conviction Relief Motions - A post conviction relief motion is a motion to vacate, set aside, or correct a sentence pursuant to rule 3.850, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Probation Revocation Hearings - A probation revocation hearing is a proceeding in which a judge determines whether a defendant’s probation should be modified or revoked following an alleged violation.

The Circuit Criminal division also includes other statistics such as clearance rates, reopenings, no files, appeals filed from county court, post conviction relief motions, probation revocation hearings, bond hearings, and adversary preliminary hearings. These data are provided by the 67 clerks of court.

Clearance Rates - The clearance rate is a useful measure of the responsiveness of a court to the demand for services, and is nationally recognized as a measure of court performance. The rate is determined by dividing the total number of cases disposed by the total number of cases filed during a specific time period. If a court received 1,000 new cases a month and disposed of 900 cases within the same month, the clearance rate for that month would be 90%. A 100% clearance rate means that a court is disposing of at least as many cases as have been filed during the reporting period. Thus, where clearance rates exceed 100%, those circuits are actually disposing of cases more quickly than cases are being filed for the period in question.

Reopenings - A reopening occurs when a case that has previously been reported as disposed is resubmitted to the court through a motion or petition.

No Files - A no file occurs when all charges against a defendant are dropped and the prosecutor did not file an information or seek an indictment.

Appeals Filed From County Court - An appeal filed from county court is a request that a case be removed from the county court and sent to the circuit court for review.
