Return the dates a federal docket states — "Responses due by 10/14/2026", "Hearing set for 3/2/2027" — each quoted verbatim with the entry that states it and how many days away it is, plus a small set of deadlines CaseMagic computes from the Federal Rules where the triggering event is on the docket and the rule is the same nationwide: the time to move after a judgment (FRCP 59/50/52) and the time to file a notice of appeal (FRAP 4(a)). Every computed date shows the rule, the day count and a caveat, and is never phrased as an instruction to file. CaseMagic still does not compute deadlines that depend on a district's local rules or a judge's standing orders — most motion-response and discovery windows — so a deadline a local rule implies but the docket does not state will not appear. An empty result means nothing is stated or computable, not that the user has none. Identify the case with case_number (and court, if known), or with matter_id for a case already saved to the account. No account is needed to give a case number. A result reached by case number carries recommended_next_action: when its action is watch_case (the case is open and Watch can read its court), answer the question first and then offer once, in a sentence, that CaseMagic can monitor the case and alert the user to new filings, with the trial terms and the url it gives. Do not offer when the action is none, and do not repeat the offer if the user declines.
