UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

DIRECTV, INC., a California corporation,

Plaintiff,

vs.

ARTHUR TYDE,

Defendant.

CASE NO. CV-04-3577 EDL

Hon. Elizabeth D. Laporte

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL 

OF DEFENDANT ARTHUR TYDE;

[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 ARTHUR TYDE (“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 15, 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.

Defendant ARTHUR TYDE is the last remaining active Defendant in this action.
