When an act is required or allowed to be done within a specified time by these rules, the Board, Chair, or the Executive Director may, upon timely request, order the time period extended or reduced to effectuate the purposes of the CMPA, except that no extension may be granted for the filing of initial pleadings.
A motion for an extension or reduction of time must be in writing and made at least three (3) business days before the expiration of the filing period. The Executive Director may allow exceptions to this requirement for good cause shown by a party.
A motion for an extension or reduction of time must indicate the purpose and reason for the requested extension or reduction of time and the positions of all interested parties regarding the change.
Whenever a period of time is measured from the service of a pleading and service is by U.S. mail, five (5) days will be added to the prescribed period.
In computing any period of time prescribed by these rules, the time begins to run the day after the event occurs. Whenever the last day to file a document falls on Saturday, Sunday, or a District of Columbia holiday, the period extends to the next business day. All prescribed time periods are calendar days, unless specified as business days.
