Re: United States v. Julian Paul Assange Clerk)

Your Honor:

We are attaching the electronically signed felony Information in the above-captioned matter and
respectfully request that, as soon as possible, the clerk docket this letter and Information in order to provide
public notice of the Rule 11 hearing scheduled before Your Honor in Saipan for Wednesday, June 26, 2024 at
9am, during which we anticipate that the defendant will plead guilty to the charge in the Information of
conspiring to unlawfully obtain and disseminate classified information relating to the national defense of the
United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 793(g), and be sentenced by the Court for that offense.

We appreciate the Court accommodating these plea and sentencing proceedings on a single day at the
joint request of the parties, in light of the defendant’s opposition to traveling to the continental United States to
enter his guilty plea and the proximity of this federal U.S. District Court to the defendant’s country of
citizenship, Australia, to which we expect he will return at the conclusion of the proceedings.

Respectfully submitted.
