Check the result before use

This is a self-check calculation of the sourced base period, not a final filing instruction. Kansas legal holidays, court-specific closures and emergency closure orders are not bundled. Weekend expiries are identified but not shifted, and a weekday result may still be a local non-business day. Check K.S.A. 60-206(a) and the current court calendar before filing or serving. Check the cited rule, the correct factual branch, every order and any electronic-filing cut-off.
