The R&R was filed on February 19, 2014, and was immediately served upon petitioner’s counsel electronically. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(2)(E). Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a)(1) and (d), when computing time for filing objections, February 19th is excluded, every day thereafter is counted, and three additional days are added. If the deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the deadline is moved to the next business day. In this case, the objections were due no later than March 10, 2014.
