Guam § 1 - Computation of Time.

§ 1. Computation of Time.

(a) In computing any period of time the day of the act or event from which the designated period of

time begins to run shall not be included. The last day of the period so computed shall be included, unless it

is a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which

is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday. When a period of time prescribed or allowed is less than

seven (7) days, intermediate Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, shall be excluded in the computation.

(b) When an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified time, the court for cause may

at any time in its discretion (1) with or without motion or notice, order the period enlarged if request therefor

is made before the expiration of the period originally prescribed or as extended by a previous order or (2)

upon motion made after the expiration of the specified period permit the act to be done if the failure to act

was the result of excusable neglect; but the court may not extend the time for taking any action pursuant to

Chapter 100 (commencing with § 100.10) or §§ 110.30, 115.10, and 120.46, except to the extent and under

the conditions stated in them.

(c) A written motion, other than one which may be heard ex parte, and notice of the hearing thereof

shall be served not later than five (5) days before the time specified for the hearing unless a different period

is fixed by statute or order of the court. For cause shown such an order may be made on ex parte application.

When a motion is supported by affidavit, the affidavit shall be served with the motion; and opposing

affidavits may be served not less than one (1) day before the hearing unless the court permits them to be

served at a later time.

(d) Whenever a party has the right or is required to do an act within a prescribed period after the service

of a notice or other paper upon him and the notice or other paper is served upon him by mail, three (3) days

shall be added to the prescribed period.
