## and

I understand that Judge Engelmayer has so-ordered the dismissal of the Epstein/BOP FOIA case.

I know that this was a challenging and thankless matter.

Please allow me to thank you on behalf of the Office. The matter required close review of many documents -- with the judge was closely watching our every step.

You handled the matter with diligence and excellent judgment.

Thank youll
