Default Time Table
- Look at the Timetable below. If the last day for the other party to respond falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, you do not count that day. The last day you count to determine if you can file the default papers, must be a day when this court is open for business.
- Include Weekends and Holidays. In counting the days, include weekends and holidays until you reach the number of days in the Timetable below. If the other party files a written response with the court, you CANNOT GO BY DEFAULT.
Example:
Date of Service:
4/27/2018; 20 days = 5/17/2018
4/27/2018; 30 days = 5/27/2018
4/27/2018; 60 days = 6/26/2018
