Rule 6(e)(1). Additional time after service by mail.
  Whenever a party has the right or is required to do some act or

  of a notice or other paper upon the party and the notice or paper 
  is served upon the party by mail, three (3) days shall be added to 
  the prescribed period. 

  Rule 6(e)(2). Setting hearings by court.
  The court upon its own initiative may notice for hearing any 
  motion, trial or proceeding which is pending before it by notice to 
  all parties in conformance with these rules. 
   
  Rule 6(e)(3). Stipulations not binding on court - Continuance of 
  trial or hearing.
  The parties to any action may present to the court a stipulation as 
  to any procedural matter involved in any proceeding, including a 
  stipulation to vacate or continue a hearing or trial, but such 
  stipulation shall be considered as a joint motion by the parties to 
  the court for its consideration, and shall not be binding upon the 
  court. The court may approve or disapprove the stipulation in the 
  same manner as the court rules upon a motion. The court may by oral 
  or written notice to the parties limit the time within which a 
  motion or stipulation to vacate or continue a hearing or trial must 
  be made in order to be considered by the court.
