What reason should I give to the clerk of courts when requesting to see the judge, rather than see the General Magistrate in which my case was referrd

   You are not required to give a reason.  Under Florida law you can object to a referral to a magistrate as long as it is done withon 10 days of the date of the order of referral, or 15 days if the order was served on you by mail.     If you want to list a reason, I suspect it would be because you prefer to have the matter heard by the judge.  The most important thing is timely filing the objection.       Best of luck, Cindy Vova
