JOINT STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL

CASE NO. C-04-03679 MJJ

WHEREAS, the First Amended Complaint in this matter pleads a proposed class 

action;

WHEREAS, the parties have settled this case without compromising the rights of 

the unnamed putative class members;

WHEREAS, the parties believe that Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(e), and the 

Advisory Committee Note to the December 2003 revision to that rule, direct that settlement of a 

putative class action prior to certification of a class does not require Court approval; and

WHEREAS, if the Court were to so order, the parties will submit their settlement 

for review by the Court, but, in such event, the parties request that they first be allowed to make 

submissions to the Court as to whether such review should be in camera or otherwise;

NOW THEREFORE, the parties stipulate to the following:

1. Plaintiff’s individual claims shall be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(ii); and

2. The claims of any unnamed putative class members shall be dismissed 

without prejudice.
