IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NETFLIX, INC., a Delaware corporation,

Plaintiff,

 v.

BLOCKBUSTER,INC., a Delaware

corporation, 

Defendant. /

No. C 06-02361 WHA

ORDER RE JOINT STIPULATION

OF DISMISSAL WITH

PREJUDICE

The Court has signed a modified stipulation of dismissal with prejudice. The Court will

not acquiesce in the proviso that the Court should retain jurisdiction because the parties did not

supply a copy of the settlement agreement to the Court and it has no way of forecasting the

difficulties counsel have in mind. Even if the settlement agreement were provided, the Court

might or might not be willing to be a future referee for disputes arising out of the settlement

agreement. Finally, in light of the parallel consumer class action, the Court’s signing of this

order should not be construed as judicial approval of the settlement agreement; rather, this order

simply dismisses the action with prejudice at the request of the immediate parties. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 26, 2007.
