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, and seeks a one-week extension – from June 3, 2019, until June 10, 2019 – of the
due date for WikiLeaks’ Reply Memorandum of Law in support of WikiLeaks’ Motion to
Dismiss Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint. I have spoken with Geoffrey A. Graber, Esq.,
of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC (Plaintiff’s Attorneys), and he has informed me that
Plaintiff consents to this application. The reasons for the extension are a concurrent deadline
next week for pretrial motions in a criminal case, United States v. Blondet, 16 Cr. 387 (JMF), as
well as the logistical challenges of timely communication and coordination with lawyers overseas
who are handling other pressing recent matters related to WikiLeaks.
Accordingly, it is respectfully requested that the due date for WikiLeaks’ Reply
Memorandum of Law be extended one week until June 10, 2019.
Respectfully submitted,

Joshua L. Dratel
JLD/
