No spot to show that he's leaving the agency. So, not a rejection exactly.

Thank you for sending your query my way. It is with a heavy heart that I have to say that I am leaving the Tobias Literary Agency. Because of this, I have to pass on your work. If you believe your manuscript may be a good fit for one of my colleagues, please query them directly.
