     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 5. Other Events.

     On July 8, 2003, Leap, Cricket Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Leap (“Cricket”), and substantially all of their subsidiaries, as debtors and debtors-in-possession, filed a Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and a related disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California (the “Court”). Copies of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively.

     Generally, federal bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of a plan of reorganization until the Court approves the applicable disclosure statement relating to the plan as providing adequate information that would enable a hypothetical reasonable investor typical of the holder of claims or interests of the relevant class to make an informed judgment about the plan, which has not yet occurred. Accordingly, this announcement is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. Leap and Cricket will emerge from Chapter 11 if and when the Disclosure Statement receives the requisite Court approval, the Plan receives the requisite stakeholder approval, the Plan is confirmed by the Court, and all conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan have been satisfied or waived, including the receipt of approval from the Federal Communications Commission.

Item 7. Exhibits.
