Summary

This document is a court order from the Southern District of New York in the case against correctional officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas. Judge Analisa Torres denies Defendant Thomas's motion to compel the government to produce the Office of the Inspector General's report on Jeffrey Epstein's death (which did not yet exist) and internal Bureau of Prisons reports. The court ruled that the government had already complied with discovery obligations and that the Bureau of Prisons was not considered part of the prosecution team for discovery purposes.
