KENT WARD, Plaintiffs, v. EQUILON ENTERPRISES, LLC, et al., Defendants. ____________________________________/
No. C 09-4565 RS ORDER RE: BRIEFING
On March 14, 2011, defendants filed an objection to a nondispositive pretrial order of the magistrate judge denying their motion for a protective order. The order in question was electronically filed on February 24, 2011. Accordingly, defendants' objection was timely filed.1
By operation of General Order No. 45, § IX. A, the parties' receipt of the notice of electronic filing automatically generated by the ECF system is deemed to have been "service" of that order. Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a), any objections to the order were due within 14 days after service. Fourteen days from January 24, 2011 was March 10, 2011. By virtue of paragraph (d) of Rule 6, which provides that where service of a document is made by electronic means, "3 days are added after the period would otherwise expire under Rule 6(a)." Three days following March 10 is March 13, 2011, which was a Sunday. Thus, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 6 (a)(1)(C), "the period continue[d] to run until the end of the next day that [was] not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday," which in this instance was Monday, March 14, 2011.
