A: No. The date of filing is the date the clerk stamped it received in the clerk's office of the appropriate court. A judge cannot alter by motion, order or otherwise the filing date. There may be an order granting a motion to excuse a late or untimely filing, but that would depend on the nature of the deadline that was missed. Some deadlines, like statutes of limitation, cannot be modified to accommodate a late filing. Deadlines tied to the right to seek review or to challenge a final judgment or decision in a case are often of the latter sort, which cannot be excused. The United States, and the rest of the civilized World, use the Gregorian Calendar, introduced in 1582, and it is the only calendar on which court (or other) deadlines are based in the United States.
