 ## R CMD check results
 
-0 errors | 0 warnings | 0 note
+Package was archived yesterday, 2023-01-09, despite efforts to address outstanding issues. 
 
-* This release removes myself (Josiah Parry) as the maintainer and makes 
-  Dexter Locke the new maintainer of sfdep. 
-  * CRAN has been notified of this in previous correspondence via email
-* Addresses failing noSuggests checks
+Latest submission failed the recursive `noSuggest` check. An example using an imported package (sf) failed because the imported function (sf::read_sf) used a suggested package (tibble suggested by sf). All instances of `sf::read_sf()` have been changed to `sf::st_read()` which, I believe, does not use any suggested packages.
