Rule 13 Time
Rule Text
(a) Computation. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by statute, by these Rules or by order of Court, the day of the act, event, or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included, except as otherwise provided by statute. The last day of the period of time prescribed or allowed by statute, these Rules or court order shall be included, unless it is a Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, unless otherwise provided by the statute. When the period of time prescribed or allowed is 11 (eleven) days or less, intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays shall be excluded in the computation. As used in this Rule, "legal holiday" includes New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, D.C. Emancipation Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and any other day appointed as a holiday by the President or the Congress of the United States, or by the District of Columbia.
(b) Enlargement. When these Rules or by a notice given there under or by order of Court an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified time, the Court for cause shown may at any time in its discretion (1) with or without motion or notice order the period enlarged if the request therefor is made before the expiration of the period originally prescribed or as extended by a previous order, or (2) upon motion made after the expiration of the specified period permit the act to be done where the failure to act was the result of excusable neglect.
(c) Time for serving affidavits. When a motion or opposition is supported by affidavit, the affidavit shall be served with the motion or opposition unless the Court permits them to be served at some other time.
(d) Additional time after service by mail. Whenever, under these Rules or by order of Court, a party has the right to or is required to do some act within a prescribed time period after the service of a notice or other paper upon him or her and the notice or paper is served upon him or her by mail, 3 three days shall be added to the prescribed period.
