* This holiday is designated as "Washington’s Birthday" in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees. Though other institutions such as state and local governments and private businesses may use other names, it is our policy to always refer to holidays by the names designated in the law.

 

** The court is closed the day after Thanksgiving.  Pursuant to California California Government Code § 19853(a), the day after Thanksgiving is a legal holiday.  The court is closed pursuant to FRCP 77(c) and 6(a), as federal court holidays may include days “appointed as a holiday by the President or the Congress of the United States, or by the state in which the district court is held."
