Angela Valencia Appellant, v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., and Ken Edgecombe, Appellees.

No. 3D25-0088

Decided: September 24, 2026

Before FERNANDEZ, GORDO and GOODEN, JJ.

Florida Advocates, and Carlos Daniel Cabrera and Christopher Michael Tuccitto (Dania Beach), for appellant. GrayRobinson, P.A., and Jack Roy Reiter, Sydney Feldman D'Angelo, and Lucia Lane Leoni, for appellees.

Affirmed. See Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.510(c)(6) (“Any hearing on a motion for summary judgment must be set for a date at least 10 days after the deadline for serving a response, unless the parties stipulate or the court orders otherwise.) (emphasis added); cf. Covey v. Shaffer, 277 So. 3d 694, 696 (Fla. 2d DCA 2019) (“The use of the definite article ‘the’ in lieu of an indefinite article such as ‘a’ or ‘any’ indicates that the statute has a particular hearing in mind, i.e., the hearing for which the petitioner is required to serve notice, rather than merely a possible, optional hearing.”).
