What is the deadline for motion to offer evidence of a victim's sexual behavior or predisposition?
The period for motion to offer evidence of a victim's sexual behavior or predisposition normally ends 14 calendar days before trial, under FRE 412(c)(1)(B). If the final day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, FRCP 6(a) carries it to the next open day.

Which date starts the 14-day period?
The period runs from the trial.
For FRE 412(c)(1)(B), count backward from the trigger event. Confirm the event on the docket or in the service record before entering a date.
Read Rule 412If a party intends to offer evidence under Rule 412(b), the party must: (A) file a motion that specifically describes the evidence and states the purpose for which it is to be offered; (B) do so at least 14 days before trial unless the court, for good cause, sets a different time
FRE 412(c)(1)(B)
This period runs from the specific event in the cited rule. Do not substitute a nearby date such as a hearing, a courtesy copy or the day you first learned of it. Confirm that event before applying FRE 412(c)(1)(B).
Which date do I enter?How are the 14 calendar days counted?
- FRE 412(c)(1)(B). Exclude the day of the trigger event.
- Count every following day, including intermediate Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays.
- If the last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, continue to the next day that is not one of those.
The FRE 412(c)(1)(B) record uses this method. Exclude the trigger day and count calendar days under FRCP 6(a).
For FRE 412(c)(1)(B), if the final day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, FRCP 6(a) carries it to the next open day.
The supporting computation provision for FRE 412(c)(1)(B) adds this boundary. Rule 6(a) also treats a day on which the clerk’s office is inaccessible as excluded from the last day, and sets the filing cutoff at midnight in the court’s time zone for electronic filing. The rule calculation does not confirm those court-specific facts.
Read FRCP 6(a)The calculation applies the ordinary method recorded for FRE 412(c)(1)(B). Check applicable holidays, court accessibility and the filing cutoff separately.

Fictitious example
Assume the trial on Tuesday, September 1, 2026 (trial on this date, with no order, motion or extension affecting the period), with no order, motion, extension or local closure affecting the result. Exclude the trigger day and count calendar days under FRCP 6(a). The example assumes no local rule, order or closure changes the ordinary period under FRE 412(c)(1)(B).
| Step | What is counted | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger | Do not count this day | September 1, 2026 |
| Period ends | 14 calendar days measured under the cited rule | August 18, 2026 |
Can an order, motion or extension change the deadline?
- Extensions
- The court may for good cause set a different time.
- Orders and local rules
- A scheduling order, approved stipulation, standing order or local rule can control over the ordinary period described by FRE 412(c)(1)(B).
- The court may for good cause set a different time.
- A stipulation, scheduling order, standing order or local rule can control over the ordinary period described by FRE 412(c)(1)(B).
What should I check before filing?
Use these checks before relying on the FRE 412(c)(1)(B) result. They do not activate a calendar date or certify that the rule applies.
Common questions
Find answers about when the 14-day period under FRE 412(c)(1)(B) starts, how it is counted and what can change it.
Starting the clock
Does the clock start on the trial, or when I first learned of it?
Under FRE 412(c)(1)(B), the period runs from the trial, not from the day you read about it, received a courtesy copy or attended a hearing. Use the date shown on the docket or in the service record.
Read Rule 412Do I add three days because the document arrived by mail?
Not to the period under FRE 412(c)(1)(B). FRCP 6(d) concerns periods measured after service. This period runs from the trial, so no mailing days are added.
FRCP 6(d)Counting days and filing
Is it 14 calendar days or business days?
For FRE 412(c)(1)(B), count calendar days, including intermediate weekends and holidays. If the final day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, FRCP 6(a) carries it forward as provided by that rule.
FRCP 6(a)Which time zone and filing cutoff apply?
Under FRCP 6(a)(4), electronic filing ends at midnight in the court’s time zone unless a statute, local rule or court order sets a different time. Paper filing ends when the clerk’s office is scheduled to close. This calculator does not verify either fact. Confirm that boundary before relying on a FRE 412(c)(1)(B) result.
FRCP 6(a)What if the court is inaccessible on the last day?
FRCP 6(a)(3) extends the period to the first accessible day that is not a weekend or legal holiday when the clerk’s office is inaccessible on the last day. Check the court’s closure notices and orders. The encoded holiday calendar does not establish an outage or local closure. This check remains separate from the ordinary FRE 412(c)(1)(B) count.
FRCP 6(a)Extensions and local rules
Can the court extend this deadline?
The court may for good cause set a different time. A request does not itself extend the period under FRE 412(c)(1)(B), and no discretionary extension is calculated here.
Read Rule 412Do local rules, standing orders or a scheduling order change the date?
They can. A local rule, standing order or case-specific order can control over the ordinary period calculated under FRE 412(c)(1)(B). Compare the result with every applicable order before relying on it.
Choosing the right calculator
Does this calculator decide whether the rule applies to my case?
No. It calculates a period from the date you provide under FRE 412(c)(1)(B). It does not decide whether the rule governs your filing, whether an exception applies, or whether the filing has merit.
Can I calculate the deadline without an account?
Yes. Enter the trigger date to see the free calculation under FRE 412(c)(1)(B), including the citation, counting steps and warnings. Court-specific facts can keep a result provisional.
Results, records and your case
What is included in an Evidence Record?
An eligible FRE 412(c)(1)(B) record retains the inputs, result, cited rule, calculation working, warnings and review state. It records that calculation and its fingerprint, not a guarantee of legal correctness.
Does saving to a case activate the calendar?
Not automatically. A provisional FRE 412(c)(1)(B) result remains subject to review, and a separately labeled manual date does not alter the original calculation.
