Plaintiff,

vs.

ERIC AGNEW, et al.,

Defendants. Case No. CV-03-2199 MJJ

Hon. Martin J. Jenkins

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL 

OF DEFENDANT ERIC AGNEW; 

[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 Eric Agnew ( Defendant ). This request is made on the grounds 

that Defendant and DIRECTV have entered into an agreement settling this matter, wherein 

DIRECTV agreed, upon performance in full of the terms of the agreement, to voluntarily dismiss 

this action against Defendant with prejudice, each party to bear its/his own attorneys fees and

costs incurred in this action to date.

Although on September 6, 2005 this Court dismissed without prejudice 

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

agreement to, upon performance in full of the terms of the agreement, take all reasonable steps to 

obtain a dismissal of this action with prejudice against Defendant, each party to bear its/his own 

costs and attorneys fees. DIRECTV files this Request in fulfillment of that obligation.
