Requested full manuscript in November 2018 but didn't respond to two nudges (February and May 2019). Marking closed. Seems unusual kn general, but not unusual for him.

Full request on 1/2/19. Nudged him 6 days ago but haven't heard back yet. 5 days ago he posted to twitter that he's closing to queries by the end of May and then reading fulls:

Hi friends. I'm going to close to queries at the end of this month. If you were thinking of pitching me, get it in before then! If I've got your manuscript, the reading is about to kick into high gear and you should hear from me soon.

2/8/19 I sent him an email saying I had an offer of representation. No reply so far. I guess I'm not going to hear from him.
2/18/19 finally heard back, he's "stepping aside."

FR 11/20/18, but then nothing. Followed up 1/28/19, still nothing. Seems like a common thing with him?

Hilariously I haven't heard back on the full yet, but he requested the manuscript through DVpit. I re-sent and mentioned I'd sent it last month but wanted to make sure it didn't get lost? 4/26/18
Update: He replied, apologizing for the confusion and said he'd read soon

According to Red Sofa's contact page (https://redsofaliterary.com/contact/), Erik Hane doesn't seem to be closed to submissions any longer.

On the timeline Erik has many fulls out that have never been responded to. I'm just wondering how high the stack of manuscripts is on his desk. (Mine is one of them.) Has anyone heard back on a full (other than the lucky person who is now his client)?
Thanks!
