The source states a counting model

For Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a)(1), this stated model starts with trigger date 2026-06-18.

FRCP 6(a)(1):\quad \text{trigger}=2026-06-18

Trigger day is excluded

The trigger day is excluded. The first counted day is Juneteenth, 2026-06-19, with count 1 in the calendar-day model.

\text{first counted date}=2026-06-19,\quad \text{count}=1

The counted end lands on a weekend

After 3 counted days, the count table lands on weekend date 2026-06-21 with count 3.

\text{counted days}=3,\quad \text{weekend date}=2026-06-21

The model rolls forward

Because the counted end is a weekend, the stated roll rule moves the final date to Monday 2026-06-22. The compiled table has 4 rows including the roll-forward row.

\text{deadline}=2026-06-22,\quad \text{table rows}=4
