Re:

Democratic National Committee v. The Russian Federation (WikiLeaks)
18 Civ. 3501 (JGK)

Dear Judge Koeltl:
This letter is submitted on behalf of defendant Wikileaks, which I represent in the aboveentitled case. In its October 3, 2018, Scheduling Order (ECF Dkt # 181), the Court allotted 15
pages to each defendant beyond the 50 pages allotted for a joint defendants’ memo of law in
support of a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. It is respectfully requested that the
Court, as it has done with respect to certain other defendants, allot Wikileaks 25 pages for its
individual memo of law. Wikileaks is in many respects in a unique position among the
defendants legally and factually, and as a result will be raising issues that the joint memo of law
will not be covering. I have spoken to Joseph M. Sellers, Esq., of Cohen Millstein Sellers &
Toll, PLLC, counsel for Plaintiffs, and he has informed me that Plaintiffs consent to this
application.
Accordingly, it is respectfully requested that the Court allow Wikileaks to file a 25-page
separate memo of law in support of its motion to dismiss.
Respectfully submitted,

Joshua L. Dratel
JLD/
