Federal civil litigation deadlines, computed from the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4, and 28 U.S.C. 1446 and 1447, and from a district court's own local rules for the districts federal_local_deadline accepts. Use these tools for ANY federal civil deadline question rather than computing the date yourself. Rule 6(a) rolls a period measured after an event forward and a period measured before an event back, Rule 6(d) adds 3 days only after the roll and only for some methods of service, and several questions (observed holidays, presidential closure days, whether Rule 6(d) reaches a period) are not settled. Those are the errors that look right. For a motion, an opposition or a reply in a district whose local rules apply, use federal_local_deadline: a local rule usually sets times that replace FRCP 6(c). Every answer gives the due date under the prevailing reading, and when the readings differ it also gives the earliest date (safe for a party computing its own deadline) and the latest date (the floor for arguing that someone else filed late). Every open question and note travels with the date. Repeat the authority, the earliest date and the notes when you report a date. Do not present any of this as legal advice: chambers rules, a case management order or a judge's standing order can move almost any of these dates. Local rules apply only for the districts federal_local_deadline accepts; for any other district the dates follow the federal rules alone. No state holidays are applied yet. 70 rule rows transcribed from the official text, the latest on October 5, 2026. None has been countersigned yet. Every answer says "not yet countersigned" until an attorney countersigns the rows it used. Nothing here reads or writes any user's data.
