September 20, 2007 The Honorable Gregory M. Sleet United States District Court J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building 844 King Street Wilmington, DE 19801 Re: United States v. Antoine Patrick Criminal Action No.: 07-37-GMS Our File No.: 2007-00128

Dear Chief Judge Sleet: Please be advised that Mr. Patrick has informed me that, in lieu of trial, he wants to change his plea to the Indictment. To that end, the government has provided a Plea Agreement. Because Mr. Patrick is no longer seeking a trial, counsel for the government, Seth Beausang and I are asking the Court leave not to file any Voir Dire and/or Proposed Jury Instructions as previously directed by this Court in its Order of July 2, 2007. Additionally, if it is convenient to the Court's calendar, the parties would be available for a Change of Plea Hearing on the September 27, 2007 date, which the Court had previously set aside for a Pretrial Conference. Respectfully submitted,

____/s/_____________ EDSON A. BOSTIC Federal Public Defender cc: Seth Beausang, Assistant United States Attorney Antoine L. Patrick, Defendant
