Plaintiff,

vs.

THAI VAN, Defendant. 

Case No. CV-04-3603 HRL

Hon. Howard R. Lloyd

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL 

OF DEFENDANT THAI VAN; [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 THAI VAN (“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 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.

Defendant THAI VAN is the last remaining active Defendant in this action. This
