Page 2 – Stip. Regarding Briefing Schedule; [Proposed] Order Case No. C06-2469 CW 

 Whereas counsel for Z-Man is scheduled to commence a jury trial in a different matter in 

the Common Pleas Court of Defiance County, Ohio on May 14, 2007, which should last at least 

five days and will conflict with the hearing date currently set for AEI’s motion to dismiss. 

 Whereas the parties have met and conferred on continuing the hearing date on AEI’s 

motion to dismiss until May 24, 2007 and agreed to a revised briefing schedule for Defendant's 

opposition based on a May 24, 2007 hearing date; 

 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 Counter complaint 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. 6) On March 20, 2007, the parties entered a stipulation 

extending the time for AEI to respond to Z-Man’s Third Amended Counter-Complaint to April 12, 

2007. 

 Whereas this stipulation will not have any affect on the schedule for the case. 

 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between AEI and Z-Man as follows: 

 1) The hearing date for AEI’s motion to dismiss directed to Z-Man’s Third Amended 

Case 4:06-cv-02469-CW Document 114 Filed 04/23/07 Page 2 of 3
