Deadline under a district court's local rules
federal_local_deadlineCompute a deadline a federal district court's own local rules set, for the districts whose local rules this site applies: a motion, an opposition or a reply counted back from the hearing date, and the court's other periods the rules fix. Give the rule as the court's own citation or a row id; rule "list" returns the district's rows and the date each counts from. Counts under FRCP 6(a) and the court's computation rule, applies the days the court's posted schedule closes it and the court's own mail rule, and returns the due date under the prevailing reading with the earliest and latest dates where the readings differ, the federal date a local rule replaces, the time of day where the rule sets one, the court's notes, the rule text and the countersign status. A district this site does not cover returns the districts it does.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| rule | Yes | Required. The row to compute: a row id from the list, the court's own citation as its local rules print it (for example "CivLR 7.1.e.1"), matched without regard to case, or "list" for every row this site computes for the district. A citation that names more than one row returns those rows and computes nothing; an unknown one returns the district's citations. | |
| district | Yes | Required. The CM/ECF id of the district court, such as "casd". Only districts whose local rules this site applies are accepted; any other id returns the list of those that are. | |
| schedule | No | Optional. true returns every paper of the briefing schedule the row belongs to, for the one hearing date in trigger_date, with the dates under FRCP 6(c) alone beside them. | |
| trigger_date | No | Required unless rule is "list". The date the row counts from, in the row's own words (the list gives them): for a motion, opposition or reply, the hearing date; for an earliest-hearing row, the date the papers will be filed. | |
| service_method | No | How the paper was served, under FRCP 5(b)(2), on a row whose date depends on it (the list says which). A local rule's own extra days for mail, or Rule 6(d)'s 3 days, are added only where that rule reaches the row and the method calls for it: 5b2C-mail = Mail (Rule 5(b)(2)(C)); 5b2D-clerk = Leaving it with the clerk (Rule 5(b)(2)(D)); 5b2F-consented-other = Other means you consented to in writing (Rule 5(b)(2)(F)); 5b2E-electronic = The court's electronic-filing system or other consented electronic means (Rule 5(b)(2)(E)): adds nothing; 5b2A-handing = Handing it to the person (Rule 5(b)(2)(A)): adds nothing; 5b2B-leaving = Leaving it at the office or home (Rule 5(b)(2)(B)): adds nothing. | |
| second_trigger_date | No | Only on a row that asks for a second date (the list says which): the other date of a row that takes the later of two periods, or the date a federal rule's own period counts from. |
