Thanks for the call, glad we finally got to connect. Per our chat, you are planning to file a motion to

withdraw this evening or tomorrow. The CFTC has no basis to oppose the motion. You explained

that you are not in a position to help respond to the outstanding ROGs because you do not have the

information, and gallantly declined to elaborate on the basis of AC privilege. As such, we plan to file

our motion to compel against Mr. Ruth tomorrow. Please advise if I have misstated any of the

foregoing.
