DIRECTV, INC., a California corporation, 

Plaintiff,

vs.

TRUONG NGUYEN, 

Defendant. Case No. CV-04-3556 RMW

Hon. Ronald M. Whyte

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL 

OF DEFENDANT TRUONG NGUYEN; 

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 TRUONG NGUYEN (“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/his own attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in this action 

to date.

Defendant answered the Complaint on or about December 7, 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.
