Jeff Pa liuca (the name appears to be an OCR rendering of Jeff Pagliuca) is copied on emails from Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal defense team in U.S. v. Maxwell, Case No. 20 Cr. 330 (AJN). The emails show him working on the defense side alongside attorney Laura Menninger, not corresponding with Jeffrey Epstein.

All six documents are emails about the Maxwell prosecution in the Southern District of New York. In five of them he is in the From/To/Cc header. Three are emails from Nicole Simmons to Judge Alison J. Nathan's chambers (Oct 19, 28 and Nov 9, 2021 timeframe), transmitting Maxwell's motions in limine, her response to the government's omnibus motions in limine, and her reply in support of those motions. In these he is copied along with Laura Menninger. A fourth email, dated 9 Nov 2021, is addressed to him and Menninger and attaches a docketed court order. The sixth, from 3 Sep 2020, circulates a notice of appeal in the case among defense lawyers and staff, and he is copied on it. None of the documents is a substantive filing or a personal exchange, and he is a recipient or cc'd party rather than the author.
