Hon. Edward M. Chen

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL 

OF DEFENDANT DOUG BARR; 

[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 Doug Barr ( Defendant ). This request is made on the grounds

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

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. Although on June 23, 2005 this Court dismissed without prejudice DIRECTV s

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

fulfillment of that obligation.
