Frank James, the man accused of wounding 10 people in a mass shooting on a Brooklyn subway car, told his lawyers he wants to plead guilty to charges in connection with the April shooting, according to a new court filing.

"Mr. James has advised undersigned counsel that he wishes to schedule a guilty plea to the superseding indictment. If the Court is available, we wish to proceed during the first week of January 2023," James' lawyers wrote in a letter Wednesday provided to NY1 by the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern District of New York, which is prosecuting the case.

The court has scheduled a change of plea hearing for James on Tuesday, Jan. 3 at 2 p.m.

It is unclear which charges James will plead guilty to. A federal grand jury charged James on Friday with 10 counts of a "terrorist attack and other violence against a mass transportation system and vehicle carrying passengers and employees," and one charge of discharging a firearm during a violent crime. The charges carry a maximum penalty of 11 life sentences.

James initially pleaded not guilty to one charge of a terrorist attack on a mass transit system and one firearm charge in May. The new charges replaced the initial ones as part of a superseding indictment.

James, 62, is accused of shooting 10 commuters, injuring dozens and causing mass panic during the city's morning rush hour commute on April 12. Authorities allege that James entered a crowded N train, set off two smoke grenades and fired a 9 mm Glock handgun 33 times.

The shooting prompted a manhunt that lasted more than 24 hours. It ended with James being taken into police custody in Manhattan, thanks in part to tips from New Yorkers who spotted him in the East Village.
