Ohio Crim.R. 45

(A) Time: computation

In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by these rules, by the local rules of

any court, by order of court, or by any applicable statute, the date of the act or event from

which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included. The last day of

the period so computed shall be included, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday,

in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which is not Saturday, Sunday,

or legal holiday. When the period of time prescribed or allowed is less than seven days,

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

(B) Time: enlargement

When an act is required or allowed to be performed 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 application therefor is made before expiration of the period

originally prescribed or as extended by a previous order; or (2) upon motion permit the act

to be done after expiration of the specified period, if the failure to act on time was the result

of excusable neglect or would result in injustice to the defendant. The court may not extend

the time for taking any action under Rule 23, Rule 29, Rule 33, and Rule 34 except to the

extent and under the conditions stated in them.

(C) Time: unaffected by expiration of term

The period of time provided for the doing of any act or the taking of any proceeding is not

affected or limited by the expiration of a term of court. The expiration of a term of court

in no way affects the power of a court to do any act in a criminal proceeding.

(D) Time: for motions; affidavits

A written motion, other than one which may be heard ex parte, and notice of the hearing

thereof, shall be served not late than seven days before the time specified for the hearing

unless a different period is fixed by rule or order of the court. For cause shown such an

order may be made on ex parte application. When a motion is supported by affidavit, the

affidavit shall be served with the motion. Opposing affidavits may be served not less than

one day before the hearing, unless the court permits them to be served at a later time.

(E) Time: additional time after service by mail

Whenever a party has the right or is required to do an act within a prescribed period after

the service of a notice or other paper upon him, and the notice or other paper is served upon

him by mail, three days shall be added to the prescribed period. This subdivision does not

apply to responses to service of summons under Rule 4 and Rule 9.
