2.02.050 [Rule 2] Timing

(a) Whenever a rule, Tribal Law, or an order of the Court requires that an action be taken within a certain number of days, the day of the action from which the time limit begins shall not be counted; but the last day shall be counted unless it is a Saturday, Sunday or Tribal holiday. When the last day is a Saturday, Sunday or Tribal holiday, the deadlines shall be the first work day following that day that is not counted. Where the time limit is less than seven (7) days, Saturdays, Sundays and Tribal holidays shall be counted.

(b) When a time limit is counted from or to the time that notice is delivered to a person and the notice is delivered by mail rather than given directly to the person, it shall be presumed that delivery takes place three (3) days after the notice is placed in a United States Postal Service mailbox.

(c) On request of a party, and if good cause exists, the Judge may allow an extension of any time limit prescribed by a Rule of Civil Procedure or a Rule of the Court.
