An 0200 short call wouldn’t be legal for a 1600 assignment. A short call FDP starts at the time of the reserve period and they are good for 16 hours OR 117 table b + 4 hours - Whichever is less. So in the case of an 0200 short call, they need to duty off no later than 1500. Unfortunately, a deadhead on the backend wouldn’t count however and would be the only legal way of going past 1500.
