COMPUTATION OF TIME
(1) In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by these rules or order of
the court, the day of the act, event, or default 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 that
day is a Saturday, a legal holiday (including Sunday), or a day or part of a day on which the court
is closed for the purpose of filing documents, closed to the extent ordered by the Chief Justice, or
closed before the end of normal working hours during which documents may be filed. In any of
those events, the period runs until the end of the next day the court is open.
(2) When the period of time prescribed or allowed relates to serving a public officer
or filing a document at a public office, and if the last day falls on a day when that particular
office is closed before the end of or for all of the normal work day, the last day shall be excluded
in computing the period of time within which service is to be made or the document is to be
filed, in which event the period runs until the close of office hours on the next day the office is
open for business.
(3) When a party intends to file by mail a brief or other thing, other than a notice of
appeal or other document subject to ORS 19.260, and the brief or other thing is due on a date that
all local United States Postal Service facilities unexpectedly are closed in whole or in part, the
party filing the brief or other thing shall have until the next day that United States Postal Service
facilities are open to file the brief or other thing.
(4) As used in this rule, "legal holiday" means legal holiday as defined in ORS
187.010 and ORS 187.020.
(5) The normal workday of each appellate courts' records office is 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
