Defendant and Counter-Complainant Z-Man Fishing Products, Incorporated (“Z-Man”),

Whereas, on August 17, 2007, AEI filed its Notice Of Rule 11 Motion And Motion 

Regarding Defendant Z-Man Fishing Products Incorporated’s Failure To Conduct An Adequate 

Prefiling Investigation and noticed it for hearing on September 28, 2007;

Page 2 – Stip. Regarding AEI’s Rule 11 Motion Case No. C06-2469 CW 

AEI’s motion for October 4, 2007; 

Whereas, on September 11, 2007, AEI, pursuant to Local Rule 7-7(a) re-noticed the 

hearing date for its Rule 11 motion from October 4, 2007 to October 11, 2007 because the Court 

was not available for a hearing on October 4, 2007; 

Whereas Z-Man’s counsel has a previously scheduled hearing in another matter set for 

October 11, 2007, and whereas the next available date the Court is available for hearing is 

November 1, 2007, counsel for Z-Man proposed to AEI’s counsel that the hearing be re-noticed 

for November 1, 2007 and he was amenable to doing so provided Z-Man agreed to the briefing 

schedule set forth below; 

Whereas the stipulation will not have any affect on the schedule for the case; and 

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,

third Motion to Dismiss. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between AEI and Z-Man that the hearing date on AEI’s 

Rule 11 Motion shall be rescheduled from October 11, 2007 to November 1, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. ZMan’s opposition shall be filed on or before September 20, 2007, and AEI’s reply shall be filed on
