Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2), Plaintiff DIRECTV, Inc. ( DIRECTV )

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

to date.

Although on July 5, 2005 this Court conditionally dismissed without prejudice

agreement to 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
