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

9.1.
