E5-155. Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Corautus Genetics Inc. to Withdraw Its Common Stock, $.001 Par Value, From Listing and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC File No. 1-15833

January 10, 2005.

On December 17, 2004, Corautus Genetics Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Issuer”), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) ^[1] and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,^[2] to withdraw its common stock, $.001 par value (“Security”), from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (“Amex”).

The Issuer stated that it determined that it is in the best interest of the Issuer to withdraw the Security from listing on the Amex and to list on The Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”). The Issuer stated that it believes that changing its listing to the Nasdaq at this time will better serve its shareholders by enhancing the visibility of the Issuer and increase the liquidity in its Security as a result of the multiple market marker structure. Trading in the Security on the Nasdaq began on October 13, 2004.

The Issuer states that it has met the requirements of the Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration by complying with all the applicable laws in effect in Delaware, in which it is incorporated.

The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from listing on the Amex and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Act,^[3] and shall not affect its obligation to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Act.^[4]

All comment letters may be submitted by either of the following methods:
