Registration Statement on Form S-1
File No. 333-86877
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, comstar.net,
inc. hereby requests the SEC's consent to withdraw the above-referenced
registration statement. Due to market conditions and other factors, comstar.net
has determined not to offer its shares to the public at this time.
We believe that withdrawal of the registration statement is consistent
with the public interest and the protection of investors, especially considering
that no securities were sold in the offering. Accordingly, comstar.net
respectfully requests that the SEC grant its request to withdraw the
registration statement.
If you have questions or comments about the foregoing, please call the
undersigned at (770) 485-6000 or Charles Vaughn of Nelson Mullins Riley &
Scarborough, L.L.P. at (404) 817-6189.
Very truly yours,
/s/ J. Cary Howell
