This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:19-cr-00830-AT) filed on February 10, 2020.

This legal document alleges that correctional officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas failed to perform their required duties during an overnight shift in the Special Housing Unit (SHU). Instead of conducting mandatory 30-minute rounds, they allegedly slept, browsed the internet for personal reasons, and falsified over 75 log entries to state the rounds had been completed.
