Plaintiff,

vs.

PAUL WERTHMANN

Defendant.

CASE NO. CV-04-3605 PVT

Hon. Patricia V. Trumbull

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL 

OF DEFENDANT PAUL WERTHMANN; 

[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 WERTHMANN (“Defendant”) only. 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 January 21, 2005. 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.
