Sec. 2700.9  Extensions of time.

    (a) The time for filing or serving any document may be extended for 
good cause shown. Filing of a motion requesting an extension of time, 
including a facsimile transmission, is effective upon receipt. A motion 
requesting an extension of time shall be received no later than 3 days 
prior to the expiration of the time allowed for the filing or serving of 
the document, and shall comply with Sec. 2700.10. A motion requesting 
an extension of time and a statement in opposition to such a motion may 
be filed and served by facsimile. The motion and any statement in 
opposition shall include proof of service on all parties by a means of 
delivery no less expeditious than that used for filing the motion, 
except that if service by facsimile transmission is impossible, the 
filing party shall serve by a third-party commercial overnight delivery 
service or by personal delivery.
    (b) In exigent circumstances, an extension of time may be granted 
even though the request was filed after the designated time for filing 
has expired. In such circumstances, the party requesting the extension 
must show, in writing, the reasons for the party's failure to make the 
request before the time prescribed for the filing had expired.
