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. The document notes their desk was approximately 15 feet from Epstein's cell and that they were visited by a supervisor around 4 a.m.
