Who is mentioned in this document?

The email involves Michael C. Miller (sender), Reid Weingarten (prominent defense attorney), Morgan Lucas, Michael Scavelli, and references JPMorgan Chase. It concerns Jeffrey Epstein and legal proceedings following his death.

What does this document reveal?

The document shows that legal proceedings involving Epstein were being formally withdrawn ten days after his death in August 2019. The involvement of JPMorgan Chase suggests this may relate to the bank's business relationship with Epstein, which later became the subject of significant litigation.

Why was this appeal being withdrawn?

While the email doesn't explicitly state the reason, the timing—just ten days after Epstein's death on August 10, 2019—strongly suggests the appeal was being withdrawn because the principal party had died, making the legal proceeding moot.

This is an email from Michael C. Miller, a partner at Steptoe & Johnson LLP, sent on August 20, 2019, notifying recipients that a stipulation to withdraw an appeal related to Jeffrey Epstein has been filed with the court.

The document is a brief legal notification email sent shortly after Epstein's death in August 2019. Attorney Michael C. Miller, representing what appears to be JPMorgan Chase (based on entity mentions), informs colleagues and opposing counsel that they have filed a stipulation to withdraw an appeal. The email includes an attachment of the actual court filing.
