A July 2020 legal correspondence from an Assistant United States Attorney responding to a discovery request in the criminal case against Tova Noel, one of the two prison guards charged with falsifying records the night Jeffrey Epstein died.

This is a routine legal email from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York to defense attorney Jason Foy, providing a response to discovery requests in US v. Tova Noel (19 Cr. 830). The email references an attached formal discovery response and mentions supplemental discovery being produced via USAfx (a government file transfer system). While the email itself is procedural, it pertains to one of the most consequential criminal cases arising from Jeffrey Epstein's death—the prosecution of the two correctional officers who were supposed to be monitoring him.
