PAUL TAN,

Defendant.

CASE NO. CV-04-3819 EDL

Hon. Elizabeth D. Laporte

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL 

OF DEFENDANT PAUL TAN; [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 PAUL TAN (“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 own attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in this action to date.

Defendant answered the Complaint on or about October 20, 2004. DIRECTV, 

therefore, cannot unilaterally voluntarily dismiss this action against Defendant absent a Court 

order. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). Accordingly, DIRECTV respectfully requests the entry of such an 

order dismissing Defendant with prejudice.
