United States First Circuit

Plaintiff's petition for attorneys' fees was untimely per Maine Local Rule 54.2, and the district court did not abuse its discretion in failing to excuse her tardiness. Because she was on notice that the rule was susceptible to the interpretation she now disputes, she has shown no excusable neglect.
