M.R. Civ. P. 6

(a) Computation. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed

by these rules, by order of court, or by any applicable statute, the day of the act,

event, or default after which the designated period of time begins to run is not

to be included. The last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless

it is a Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal holiday, in which event the period runs until

the end of the next day which is not a Saturday, a Sunday, or a holiday. When

the period of time prescribed or allowed is less than 7 days, intermediate

Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays shall be excluded in the computation.

For the purpose of this subdivision legal holidays shall include days on

which the Chief Justice of the Superior Court or Chief Judge of the District Court

pursuant to Rule 77(c) specifically orders the clerk’s office closed.

(b) Enlargement. When by these rules or by a notice given thereunder or

by order of court an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified

time, the court for cause shown may at any time in its discretion (1) with or

without motion or notice order the period enlarged if request therefor is made

before the expiration of the period originally prescribed or as extended by a

previous order or (2) upon motion made after the expiration of the specified

period permit the act to be done where the failure to act was the result of

excusable neglect, but it may not extend the time for taking any action under

Rules 50(b), 52(b), 59(b), (d), and (e), and 60(b), except to the extent and under

the conditions stated in those rules.

(c) Additional Time After Service by Mail. Whenever a party has the right

or is required to do some act or take some proceedings within a prescribed

period after the service of a notice or other paper upon the party and the notice

or paper is served upon the party by mail, 3 days shall be added to the

prescribed period.
