Rule 25. Computation Of Time
Effective July 1, 2016
A. Non-Business and Business Days.
For purposes of this rule, a non- business day shall mean a Saturday, a Sunday, a legal holiday as defined by state statute, or a day the Office of the Clerk is closed during regular business hours. A business day shall mean all other days.
B. Counting Days.
In computing any period of time allowed by these Rules, by order of the court, or by any applicable statute, the day of the act, event, or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included. The last day of the period so computed is to be included unless it is a non-business day. If the last day is a non-business day, the period runs until the end of the next business day. When the time allowed is less than seven (7) days, all non-business days shall be excluded from the computation.
C. Extension of Time When Served by Mail or Carrier.
When a party serves a document by mail or third-party commercial carrier, the time period for filing any response or reply to the document shall be extended automatically for an additional three (3) calendar days from the date of deposit in the mail or with the carrier. This Rule does not extend any time period that is not triggered by a party's service of a document, such as the time for filing a Petition for Rehearing or a Petition to Transfer, nor does it extend any time period when service is made by E-Service pursuant to Rule 68(F)(1).
