This is a self-check calculation of the sourced base period, not a final filing instruction. New Mexico legal holidays, court-specific closures and emergency closure orders are not bundled. Every calculated date is a review date: check Rule 1-006(A) NMRA 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.

This is the ordinary district-court branch. A different court, special statute or permitted preliminary motion may change the date.

Legal disclaimer

Deadline Engine calculates dates from encoded procedural rules. It is software, not legal advice, and no output is approved for your matter. Check the jurisdiction, inputs, current cited rule, facts and any order or agreement before recording or using the date. Responsibility for the operative deadline and diary remains with you.
