(1) It is expressly excluded.
(2) It would otherwise be the last day of the period, except that, for purposes of calculating a release date from an order of commitment, a legal holiday shall be included if it is the last day of the period.
(3) The period is less than seven days.
D. All Saturdays and Sundays are also considered as legal holidays.
