Hon. Howard R. Lloyd

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY 

DISMISSAL OF DEFENDANT 

PATSY EDWARDS-KEMP; 

[PROPOSED] ORDER THEREON

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2), Plaintiff DIRECTV, Inc. ( DIRECTV )

hereby respectfully requests that the Court enter an Order dismissing the above-captioned action 

with prejudice as to Defendant Patsy Edwards-Kemp ( Defendant ). This request is made on the

grounds that Defendant and DIRECTV have entered into an agreement settling this matter. 

Pursuant to the terms of that agreement, DIRECTV agreed to voluntarily dismiss this action 

against Defendant, each party to bear its/her own attorneys fees and costs incurred in this action

to date.

Although on August 4, 2005 this Court dismissed without prejudice DIRECTV s

claims against Defendant, DIRECTV is obligated under the terms of the settlement agreement to 

take all reasonable steps to obtain a dismissal of this action with prejudice against Defendant, each party to bear its/her own costs and attorneys fees. DIRECTV files this Request in 

fulfillment of that obligation.
