No response on short story collection. I waited the amount of weeks the lit agency indicated. I appreciate his consideration nonetheless.

FR: 10/31/22 Nice note from Noah-I'm guessing he's an intern? Also, I guess this is a rejection from the whole agency?

I wouldn't recommend querying this agent. From my own experience and from the comments below, he requests fulls but then never replies. It's a real heart breaker to keep hoping for months for an answer.
EQ: 1/21/2016
RF: 1/21/2016
And then no reply ever, even with a variety of politely spaced nudges.
