Just a reminder that the District of Delaware courthouse is closed on Thursday and Friday of this week, 12/23/2021 and 12/24/2021.

The Court's has already updated its website to display the 2022 holidays, but the 2021 holidays are still available via the Wayback Machine.

Why does this matter? Well, let me quote FRCP 6:

(a) Computing Time. . . .
(3) Inaccessibility of the Clerk’s Office. Unless the court orders otherwise, if the clerk’s office is inaccessible . . . on the last day for filing under Rule 6(a)(1) [a period stated in days or a longer unit], then the time for filing is extended to the first accessible day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday . . .

This blog will also be taking a break while the Court is closed this week. See you again next week, and happy holidays!
