a few more edit requests
Hi! As noted above, I have a COI with Sidley Austin. Requesting a few more updates to this article:

Legal career

 * Add to end of section:
 * He also chaired the Magistrate Judge Merit Selection Panel in the Northern District and taught securities regulation at Hastings College of Law. In 2010, Anderson joined Sidley Austin, handling commercial and securities cases for clients including Wells Fargo. He was a partner at Sidley Austin in August 2018, when he was nominated to be a U.S. Attorney. In September 2021, Anderson returned to working at Sidley Austin, joining the firm's white collar practice.

U.S. Attorney

 * Add to end of first paragraph:
 * He created a strike force to target corporate fraud in March 2019. In August 2019, Anderson announced the "Federal Initiative for the Tenderloin", a collaboration among 15 federal agencies, including the U.S. attorney's office, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI. The initiative focused on prosecuting drug trafficking and other crime in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco.


 * At end of third paragraph, update
 * He resigned on February 27, 2021.
 * to
 * He resigned on February 28, 2021.
 * (This date should also be corrected in the article infobox.)


 * Comment - the cited article for the February 28th date is behind a paywall, but the first article DOES say the 27th. Do you have another source, or can you explain the discrepancy? PianoDan (talk) 23:20, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for flagging! Here's a cached version of the paywalled article with full text readable. The relevant quote is the last line: "Anderson’s last day on the job will be Feb. 28." Not sure why KTVU and SF Chronicle differ on this, but my understanding is that SF Chronicle got it correct. Hope that helps! Mary Gaulke (talk) 04:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
