`
`Phil,
`
`Your insistence on improperly including aspects of a complaint in a separate case, raising separate issues, and contravening the
`Court’s unambiguous order on these issues necessitates separate filings. We will state as much.
`

`Maclain

`
`Maclain,
`
`That’s your characterization which we, as stated numerous times, do not agree with. We maintain our belief the parties
`should be submitting a joint statement, setting forth their respective positions.
`
`We understand you will not agree to a joint submission. Please do not misrepresent in your filing that we insisted on
`separate filings, as you suggested in your earlier e-mail of 11:25 am PT, as that is very clearly not the case based on this e-
`mail thread.
`
`If there’s anything further you want to discuss on this issue, I am free after 12:30 pm PT.
`
`Thanks,
`Phil

`
`Maclain,
`
`We are not insisting on separate filings. We believe the parties should file a joint CMC statement as directed by the Court.
` And the parties should submit their respective positions in that joint document. It is improper for you to dictate what
`Applied may say or not say in its portion of the joint submission, as it would be improper for Applied to do the same for your
`portion.
`
`So please either (1) stop editing/deleting our portion of the joint submission, and instead, address whatever you believe you
`need to address in your portion or (2) confirm that you do not agree to a joint filing so we can proceed with preparing our
`own.
`
`Please let us know by noon how you would like to proceed. For avoidance of doubt, we are not insisting on separate filings
`and believe the parties should file a joint submission.
`
`Thanks,
`Phil

`therein.
`
`If you are refusing to file a joint submission absent being able to dictate what Applied can or cannot say in the section

`
`Phil,
`
`Attached are redlines to the statement. If you want to re-raise the issues regarding substituting the complaint in the newly-filed case
`in the Applied I matter, you will need to raise that in a separate filing with the Court. We will not agree to address it in the joint case
`management statement.

`
`Phil,
`
`We will not agree to a joint submission for a case management statement in Applied’s first-filed case that is directed at the complaint
`in the second filed case. That is a separate case raising separate issues and Applied’s attempts to contravene the Court’s
`unambiguous order on this issue are improper.

`
`Maclain,
`
`We can agree to disagree on how we believe the Court should proceed with the related cases in view of the procedural
`posture in both actions as well as the customers suits in WDTX. And you are welcome to state your position in the joint
`submission, including why you believe our “attempts to substitute issues relating to Applied’s new declaratory judgment
`complaint contravene the Court’s order.” We disagree with that characterization.
`
`

`

`
`
`However, it is inappropriate to substantively edit/delete Applied’s portion of the joint submission.
`
`We accepted your edits (accept for your deletion of our position) and also revised the table of schedule so that it is just a
`proposal from Applied if you do not want to include your position on that point in the table.
`
`Please let us know if you have any further edits to the attached.
`
`Thanks,
`Phil

`Subject: [EXT] RE: Applied/Demaray - NDCA CMC Statement
`
`Phil,
`
`The Court denied Applied’s attempt to “lodge its new declaratory judgment complaint as well as its request for the new declaratory
`judgment complaint to become the operative complaint in this action.” Applied I, Dkt No. 53, at 3. The Court also denied
`“Applied’s request that Demaray’s pending motion to dismiss be denied as moot.” Id. The Court has found that subject matter
`jurisdiction in this case is lacking. All the remains, is for the Court to address Demaray’s pending motion to dismiss. Your attempts
`to substitute issues relating to Applied’s new declaratory judgment complaint contravene the Court’s order. There is no need for case
`schedule given the Court’s prior determinations.
`
`Our redlines to the Joint Case Management Statement are attached.

`Maclain

`Maclain,
`
`Attached is a draft joint CMC statement updating the Court since the last one filed in late November. Please insert your
`position in the attached. If you believe there are other issues that we need to address in the joint submission, please let us
`know. I’m available to discuss the rest of the afternoon if needed.
`
`We may have further edits in view of your inserts, and will also be available to confer over the weekend or Monday if
`needed.
`
`The joint submission is due Monday.
`
`Thanks,
