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 the Court entered its Order dismissing nine of Z-Man’s counterclaims on 

November 8, 2006. 

Whereas Z-Man filed its First Amended Counter-Complaint on November 22, 2006. 

Whereas the parties participated in private mediation on November 30, 2006, but did not 

settle the case. 

Whereas during the Case Management Conference the Court authorized the parties to 

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

motion for judgment on the pleadings. 

Whereas the parties’ counsel met and conferred on December 4, 2006 and agreed to a briefing 

schedule. 

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. 

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) AEI will have until December 29, 2006 to answer or otherwise respond to the First 

Amended Counter-Complaint. (A motion to dismiss any portion of the First Amended CounterComplaint will obviate the need for AEI to file an answer to the First Amended Counter-Complaint 

until after the motion is decided.) December 29, 2006 also is the deadline for filing the motion for 

judgment on the pleadings or motion for partial summary judgment concerning the payment of 

minimum royalties authorized by the Court during the Case Management Conference.

It is further stipulated that any and all motions filed by AEI on December 29, 2006 will be 

included in a single brief, subject to the page limits set forth the Northern District Local Rules. 

Similarly, Z-Man will file a single opposition brief and AEI will file a single reply brief, each of 

which will be subject to the page limits set forth in the Northern District Local Rules.
