RE: FIRSTAR STELLAR FUNDS (FORMERLY STAR FUNDS)
CIK: 0000846030
1933 Act File No. 33-26915
1940 Act File No. 811-5762
REQUEST FOR WITHDRAWAL OF AMENDMENT TO REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM AW
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Star Funds (the "Trust"), I have transmitted for filing a request
for withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 42 under the Securities Act of
1933 and Amendment No. 43 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to the
Trust's Registration Statement on Form AW (Accession number 0000898531-99-
000024) (PEA #42).
I understand that the Trust's filing was mistakenly submitted twice:
o Once on Friday, January 29, 1999 at 3:59 EST with accession number
0000898531-99-000024, and
o Once on Friday, January 29, 1999 at 4:59 EST with accession number
0000898531-99-000025.
The Trust's filer had numerous troubles performing the filing on the date
indicated, including achieving only partial transmission of PEA #42 at various
times. In its desire to accomplish the filing, the Trust's filer resubmitted
PEA #42 an hour after its prior attempt when it did not receive notification of
acceptance. As a result, the Securities and Exchange Commission essentially
received Post-Effective Amendment No. 42 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 43.
To avoid any confusion, please withdraw PEA #42 (accession number 0000898531-99-
000024) pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions
regarding this filing, please call the undersigned at (414) 287-3338.
Sincerely,
/s/ Elaine E. Richards
Elaine E. Richards, Esq.
