Plaintiff, Cory Beard, by and through his attorneys, the Family Law Clinic, hereby
requests that the Court dismiss the Request for Declaratory Judgment for Emancipation filed on

Plaintiff avers the following:
1. Plaintiff filed a Request for Declaratory Judgment for Emancipation with the Court

scheduling the matter to be heard on August 8, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.
2. Plaintiff no longer wishes to pursue the Request for Declaratory Judgment for
Emancipation for the following reasons:
a. Defendants are no longer preventing Plaintiff from seeing his minor son, Sage
Beard.
b. Defendants have provided Plaintiff with transportation which allows him to
see his son.
3. Defendants are not represented by counsel; therefore, concurrence pursuant to
C.C.R.P 208.2 (d) was not sought.
