A 2019 email exchange between the U.S. Attorney's Office (Southern District of New York) and Judge Sarah Netburn's chambers regarding the civil case Jane Doe 43 v. Epstein, concerning a sealed order and government application.

This document is internal court correspondence from April 2019 between federal prosecutors and Judge Sarah Netburn's courtroom deputy. The emails discuss a government application related to the Jane Doe 43 v. Epstein civil case (17 Civ. 616) and reference the submission of 'additional authority' regarding a recent pertinent decision. The case, filed in January 2017, named Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, and Lesley Groff as defendants and was dismissed with prejudice in December 2018—making this April 2019 correspondence appear to relate to post-dismissal procedural matters or a separate government motion.
