These windows are the published timelines for the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals contractor track. Department of Energy cases under 10 CFR Part 710 use different documents, a different appeal body, and different windows, and are not covered here.
Enter the date of receipt to see the published windows as calendar dates.
Timelines: SOR answer 20 days (extensions of 20 to 30 days routinely granted on request); FORM response 30 days; notice of appeal 15 days after receiving the decision; appeal brief 45 days; reply brief 20 days. See the stages of a DOHA case for how these stages fit together.
Saving calculated dates to a matter is part of Professional.
It opens saved dates on the matter, alongside the pinned decisions and exports for that client.

How the process worksDeadlines sit inside the published sequence of a contested case: the SOR, the answer, a hearing or the written record, the decision, and the appeal.
A contested case follows a published path: a Statement of Reasons, the government's written list of its concerns (an SOR), a written answer, a hearing or a decision on the written record, the judge's decision, and in some cases an appeal.
