Update in the Case of U.S. v. KSM, et. al.

Dear Survivors & Families,

I am writing to inform you of the latest scheduling change in the case of United States v. KSM, et. al.. 

This morning the Military Judge issued another amended scheduling order cancelling the week of May 12-15, 2025 of the upcoming session. The April/May session has now been cancelled in its entirety. The case is next scheduled for a three-week hearing, from July 14-August 1, 2025, at the legal complex on Guantanamo Bay (GTMO). A formal docketing order has not yet been issued regarding that session. We anticipate that a docketing order will be issued closer to the session dates, and we will keep you informed when it is released. 

Additionally, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has not yet issued a decision on whether Secretary Austin validly withdrew from the pre-trial agreements on August 2, 2024. We will notify you when a decision is issued.

VWAP is committed to supporting you through this process and will ensure you remain informed and updated on any further developments in this case. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at osd.pentagon.omc.list.vwap@mail.mil. 

Very respectfully,

Danielle Reddan
