The verified commitment is to demand DHS turn over requested information and cooperate with Erie County law enforcement, not to prove DHS ultimately complied. Verified passages show Kennedy and Thompson made that demand, the signed letter states DHS must fully comply, and Thompson is identified as a signatory. Evidence that DHS had not yet substantively responded does not defeat fulfillment of the demand itself.
