1

Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant Applied Elastomerics, Incorporated (“AEI”) and Defendant 

and Counter-Complainant Z-Man Fishing Products, Incorporated (“Z-Man”), through their respective 

attorneys of record, submit this stipulation and proposed order pursuant to Northern District Local 

Rule 6-2. 

Whereas AEI’s lead counsel on this matter, Jill Neiman, has had to take an unexpected 

medical leave of absence and Jennifer Taylor assumed responsibility for this case going forward as of 

March 12, 2007. 

Whereas Z-Man filed its Third Amended Counter-Complaint on March 15, 2007. 

Whereas the previous time modifications in this case include the following: 1) On April 27, 

2006, the parties stipulated to provide Z-Man with an additional 20 days within which to respond to 

AEI’s Complaint. 2) On September 28, 2006, pursuant to Z-Man’s request, the parties stipulated 

that the hearing date for the parties’ pending motions (Z-Man’s transfer motion and AEI’s motion to 

dismiss counterclaims) and the date of the parties’ Case Management Conference be rescheduled 

from October 20, 2006 to November 3, 2006. 3) On December 7, 2006, pursuant to the Court’s 

authorization at the Case Management Conference for the parties to work out a stipulated briefing 

schedule for AEI’s motion to dismiss Z-Man’s first amended counterclaims and/or motion for 

judgment on the pleadings, the parties so stipulated to a briefing schedule and to a hearing date of 

February 2, 2007. 4) On December 20, 2007 the parties entered into a revised stipulation on the 

briefing schedule and hearing date for AEI’s motion to dismiss Z-Man’s First Amended 

Countercomplaint in light of Z-Man’s agreement to voluntarily drop some of its counterclaims by 

bringing a Second Amended Counter-Complaint. 5) on January 23, 2007 the parties entered a 

stipulation extending time for Z-Man to respond to AEI’s motion to dismiss the Second Amended 

Counter-Complaint in light of a calendaring error which caused Z-Man not to file its opposition to 

AEI’s motion on January 19, 2007 when it was otherwise due pursuant to the parties’ December 20, 

2007 stipulation. 

Whereas on March 5, 2007 this Court granted AEI’s motion to dismiss Z-Man’s Second 

Amended Counter-Complaint, but granted Z-Man leave to re-plead one of the dismissed 

counterclaims and also permitted Z-Man to include in its Third Amended Counter-Complaint claims

Z-Man wishes to pursue from the transferred South Carolina action recently consolidated with this 

case. 

It is hereby stipulated that AEI will have until April 12, 2007 to answer or otherwise respond 

to the Third Amended Counter-Complaint. (A motion to dismiss any portion of the Third Amended 

Counter-Complaint will obviate the need for AEI to file an answer to the Third Amended CounterComplaint until after the motion is decided).
