(a) Computation of Time Periods. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by these rules, by the local rules of any district court, by order of court, or by any applicable statute, 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 it is a * Saturday,
* Sunday,
* legal holiday, or,
* when the act to be done is the filing of a document in court, a day on which weather or other conditions result in the closing of the office of the court administrator of the court where the action is pending, or
* where filing or service is either permitted or required to be made electronically, a day on which unavailability of the computer system used by the court for electronic filing and service makes it impossible to accomplish service or filing, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day that is not one of the aforementioned days.
(b) Periods Shorter than 7 Days. When the period of time prescribed or allowed is less than seven days, intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays shall be excluded in the computation.(c) Definition of Legal Holiday. As used in this rule and in Rule 77(c), "legal holiday" includes any holiday designated in Minn.
