I have to file my papers ten days before the hearing, but that day falls on a holiday when the court is closed. What do I do?
You must file and serve the papers by the end of court business on the next day that the court is open following the holiday. For instance, if the 10th day falls on Labor Day, you have until close on Tuesday to file your papers with the Clerk of the Court.
