Hey Shawnell, first off I would say you should get well acquainted with the Express documentation. It's very helpful and very approachable and you shouldn't be afraid to consult it because looking up the answer isn't cheating! It's what developers do constantly every single day in their work. Second, to set an HTTP status on the response object you use the status() method, and pass it 400, which is the status code for Bad Request. So your code should look like this: 

res.status(400).json(data)

Happy coding!
