granted by the Court on December 22, 2006 and it provided that Z-Man’s opposition to AEI’s

January 5, 2007 with a noticed hearing date of February 16, 2007.

February 16, 2007. 

 Whereas Z-Man did not file its opposition to AEI’s motion schedule on January 19, 2007 

because of a calendaring error that involved the calculation of the opposition due date being the 

usual 21 days from the scheduled February 16, 2007 hearing date provided for in Local Rule 7-

3(a) instead of by reference to the briefing schedule set forth in the parties’ December 20, 2006 

Stipulation Regarding Briefing Schedule. 

 Whereas AEI’s counsel reminded Z-Man’s counsel of the due date for its opposition to its 

motion to dismiss on January 22, 2007 and counsel for the parties’ counsel met and conferred on 

January 23, 2007 concerning a resolution of the situation that would equitably address AEI’s 

counsel’s scheduling issues. 

 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, the parties 

stipulated that the hearing date for AEI’s motion in response to Z-Man’s First Amended 

Complaint and 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
