REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF DEFENDANT HENRY CHAU; 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 Henry Chau ("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 with prejudice, each party to bear its/his own attorneys' fees and costs incurred in this action to date.

Accordingly, DIRECTV respectfully requests the entry of such an order dismissing Defendant with prejudice.
