# cancelFetchRequest(_:)

Cancels the request to fetch reminders.

```
func cancelFetchRequest(_ fetchIdentifier: Any)
```

## Parameters

`fetchIdentifier`

The identifier of the request as returned by [`fetchReminders(matching:completion:)`](/documentation/EventKit/EKEventStore/fetchReminders(matching:completion:)).

## Discussion

After canceling a fetch request, EventKit doesn’t call the completion originally specified in [`fetchReminders(matching:completion:)`](/documentation/EventKit/EKEventStore/fetchReminders(matching:completion:)).
