     This Current Report on Form 8-K is filed by Leap Wireless International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Leap” or the “Company”), in connection with the matters described herein.

Item 7. Exhibits.

Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.

     Leap and Cricket Communications, Inc., Leap’s wholly owned subsidiary, recently filed their monthly operating reports for the months of April 2003, as amended, and May 2003 (the “Operating Reports”) with the United States Trustee as required by federal bankruptcy law. Each report contains an income statement for the applicable month and a balance sheet as of the end of the applicable month. Copies of the Operating Reports are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4.

     The Operating Reports contain financial statements and other information that have not been audited or reviewed by independent accountants and may be subject to future reconciliation and adjustments. The Operating Reports are in a format prescribed by federal bankruptcy law. The Operating Reports contain information for periods different from those required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, and that information may differ from the information that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in the Operating Reports should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

     In response to a motion by Gabelli Asset Management, Inc. and MCG PCS, Inc. for the appointment of an equity security holders committee, the Bankruptcy Court recently issued a memorandum opinion concluding that appointment of an official equity committee is not warranted. A copy of the opinion is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5.

     The information in this report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
