After the amendment, a party that is obliged or entitled to act within a prescribed period should first calculate that period, without referring to the 3-day rule under Rule 26(c), but by reference to the other provisions of the Appeals Rules relating to the calculation of time. Once the Party has determined the date on which the prescribed period would expire without the application of Rule 26(c), it should add 3 calendar days. The party must act until the third day of the extension, unless that day is a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, in which case the party must act until the following day, which is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday. Subsection (a) (3). When determining the last day of a submission deadline, which is indicated in days or in a longer unit of time, a day when the Clerk`s office is inaccessible due to weather or any other reason will be treated as a Saturday, Sunday or holiday. If the Clerk`s office is not accessible during the last hour of the filing period calculated in subsection (a) (2), the deadline will be extended to the same time the next day, which is not a weekend, holiday or day when the Clerk`s office is not accessible, to determine the end of a specified presentation period in hours. Subparagraph (a) does not apply to the calculation of a period specified by law where the law establishes a method for calculating time. See, for example, 20 U.S.C. Article 7711 (b) (1) (according to which certain requests for examination by a local education authority or a state “must be submitted within 30 working days (determined by the local education authority or the state) from receipt of the notification of the decision of the federal agency”).

Subsection (c). In order to clarify that a period must be calculated by counting all intermediate days, including weekends or public holidays, the term “calendar days” was previously used in the rules of procedure. Since new subsection (a) adopts a “days are days” approach in which all intermediate days are counted, regardless of the short period, “3 calendar days” is replaced by paragraph (c) to read simply “3 days”. The Act, which amended Title 5, U.S.C. §6103(a), modifies the day on which certain holidays must be observed. Washington`s birthday, Memorial Day and Veterans Day are to be celebrated on the third Monday in February, the last Monday in May and the fourth Monday in October, respectively, and not, as before, on February 22, May 30 and November 11, respectively. Columbus Day is expected to be celebrated on the second Monday in October. New Year`s Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas continue to be celebrated on traditional days. (2) Weekend or holiday rule. Suppose you submit an intention to terminate. Termination must be made at least 60 days and no later than 90 days prior to the proposed termination date. Suppose the 60th day before the proposed termination date is a Saturday.

Your cancellation is timely if you issue it the following Monday, although it is only 58 days before the proposed termination date. If the 90th day before the proposed termination date on Wednesday, the 4th. July (a federal holiday), your notice is timely if you issue it on Tuesday, July 3, even if it is 91 days before the proposed termination date. Subsection (c). Rule 26(c) is amended to remove electronic service in accordance with Rule 25(c)(1)(D) of types of services that allow an additional 3 days after service. Section 503.01(f) is an important provision that will affect many time limits. It establishes an explicit rule on how days are counted when counting “backwards” from a deadline. The rule states that if an event is counted backwards and the last day falls on a weekend or holiday, the countdown continues until the next earlier date, which is not a weekend or holiday. This rule aligns with its federal counterpart and is intended to create greater uniformity in the timing between all state and federal court cases. State-level holidays are defined in the Minnesota Statutes of 1990, Section 645.44, Subdivision 5, which includes: New Year`s Day, January 1; Martin Luther King`s birthday on the third Monday in January; Washington and Lincoln anniversaries on the third Monday in February; Memorial Day, the last Monday in May; Independence Day, July 4; Labour Day, the first Monday in September; Veterans Day, November 11; Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November; and Christmas, December 25.

Paragraph 5 of article 645.44 also provides that if New Year`s Day is 1 January; or Independence Day, July 4; or Veterans` Day, November 11; or Christmas, December 25; falls on Sunday, the next day is supposed to be a holiday and that if New Year`s Day, 1. January; or Independence Day, July 4; or Veterans` Day, November 11; or Christmas, December 25; falls on Saturday, the day before is a holiday.
