This is a self-check calculation of the sourced base period, not a final filing instruction. United States Virgin Islands legal holidays, court-specific closures and emergency closure orders are not bundled. Every calculated date is a review date: check V.I. R. Civ. P. 6(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.
