The parties hereby stipulate as follows: 

1. The parties to this action (the “Action”) enter into this stipulation of dismissal 

pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

2. Plaintiff filed the Action on October 21, 2005. By Order dated September 12, 2006, 

the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss. 

3. Plaintiff hereby dismisses the Action. The parties agree that there shall be no further 

proceedings relating to the filing or maintenance of this Action. 

4. The parties agree that each side shall bear its own costs and attorney’s fees. 

5. The parties represent that defendants have not made or promised any payment, direct 

or indirect, to the named plaintiff or his counsel in return for dismissal of the Action. 

6. Neither this stipulation nor the proposed order of dismissal shall constitute or imply 

any admission or concession by any party regarding any claim raised by the Action. 

7. A class certification motion has not been noticed or heard, and a class has not been 

certified. 

8. Notice to the class of this pre-certification dismissal is not required, pursuant to the 

three-part framework of Diaz v. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, 876 F.2d 1401, 1408-11 (9th 

Cir. 1989). 

(a) Notice is not necessary “as a deterrent to hypothetical abusive plaintiffs.” Id. 

at 1409. Plaintiff and his counsel represent that they did not append class allegations in order to 

obtain a favorable individual settlement. On the contrary, the plaintiff has not sought, nor have 

defendants agreed to, any individual settlement. 

(b) Notice is not necessary to “protect[] the class from objectionable structural 

relief, trade-offs between compensatory and structural relief, or depletion of limited funds available 

to pay the class claims.” Id. (Citation omitted). No relief is being granted here that could affect the 

interests of putative class members. 

(c) Notice is not necessary to “protect[] the class from prejudice it would 

otherwise suffer if class members have refrained from filing suit because of knowledge of the 

pending class action.” Id. (Citation omitted). No class has been certified and accordingly, no class

notice has been given to putative class members. In addition, defendant Pixar will include in 

Disney’s next annual report on Form 10-K or quarterly report on Form 10-Q, whichever is earlier, a 

statement advising of the dismissal of this Action. 

9. For the foregoing reasons, the parties respectfully request that the Court enter the 

accompanying Order of Dismissal.
