Dear Mr. Hibbard -
Thank you for your follow up. I am still very much interested in this FOIA request. I understand from the last communication in 2019 that the matter was categorized under "unusual circumstances" per 5 U.S.C. 552 § (a)(6)(B)(i)-(iii) but given the passage of time, I would appreciate a status update.
Thank you for reaching out.

Good evening, excuse the delayed response to your status inquiry, I thought I previously responded to this email. This Office is continuing to process your request DOJ-2019-006527. In my communication sent on April 15, 2022, I estimated this Office’s completion for processing your FOIA request to be in three to four months. This Office is continuing to review potentially records located in our search, including conducting any necessary consultations. Given the continued review of records, I am updating the estimated date of completion to be October 2022. Unless advised otherwise by you, we will continue our processing with the understanding that you are interested in responsive emails and will continue our records review accordingly. If you would like to further discuss your request, please feel free to contact our Office to discuss this matter.
Thank you,
