Frequently Asked Questions

How are deadlines calculated in New York State Courts?
Deadlines in New York State Courts are computed using CPLR 2103. The calculator excludes the trigger day, counts forward (or backward) the specified number of days, and adjusts for weekends and court holidays. If the resulting date falls on a non-business day, the deadline rolls to the next business day.
What holidays does New York State Courts observe?
New York State Courts observes all state-designated court holidays when computing deadlines. These typically include New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. Some states observe additional holidays specific to their jurisdiction.
What is CPLR 2103?
CPLR 2103 is the procedural rule that governs how time periods are computed in New York State Courts. It defines how to count days (calendar vs. business), when to exclude weekends and holidays, and how to handle deadlines that fall on non-business days.
How does service method affect deadlines in New York State Courts?
When a document is served by a method other than hand delivery or electronic means, additional days are typically added to the response deadline. For example, service by U.S. Mail usually adds 5 days. The exact add-on depends on the jurisdiction's rules and the specific service method used.
