This document is a discovery request letter from attorney Jason E. Foy, representing Tova Noel (a guard charged in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's death), to the US Attorney's Office. The letter demands 31 specific items, including Noel's personnel files, SHU logs from the time of Epstein's death (August 2019), surveillance records of broken cameras, and internal memos regarding Epstein's need for a cellmate. It also notably asks for the identity of the author of a specific 4Chan message and records related to other inmate deaths at the MDC.

This document is an email chain from June 2020 between DOJ/BOP officials regarding the production of documents for the Epstein suicide investigation. A Special Investigative Agent at MCC New York responds to specific requests for policies, training manuals, and SHU logs, noting that many original records (including Epstein's central file and control center paperwork) were likely seized by the FBI or OIG shortly after Epstein's death. The correspondence clarifies that hard copy logs generally do not exist for the requested period as the facility used digital logs emailed to executive staff.

This document is an email chain from June 2020 involving a Special Investigative Agent (ckizzier) at MCC New York and legal counsel (likely defense for guards involved in the Epstein case). The correspondence details a discovery dispute where the defense is requesting specific BOP policies, training manuals, and logs related to the 'Epstein suicide investigation' and 'Defendant Noel'. The agent explains that many physical logs (Watch Call sheets) were seized by the FBI/OIG early in the investigation and that Epstein's file was likely taken, complicating the production of documents like Suicide Risk Observations (SROs).
