Federal Motion Response Timeline
Summary
Under federal law, the 14-day period to respond to a motion generally includes weekends and holidays unless the last day falls on a weekend or a holiday. In that case, the deadline extends to the next business day. If the court enters an order without your response, you may need to file a motion to reconsider or appeal the decision based on your situation. In Rhode Island bankruptcy court, orders can typically be appealed, and not waiting the 14 days before entering an order might be considered an error. For RICO claims, identify individuals involved, document fraudulent actions, and provide evidence. Opposing counsel has an ethical duty to disclose material facts, especially if they concern fraudulent activities. Commingling of funds can be criminal or fraudulent, depending on the circumstances.Full Conversation
