03-25974. Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing and Registration on the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. (Able Laboratories, Inc., Common Stock, $.01 par value) File No. 1-11352

October 8, 2003.

Able Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Issuer”), has 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, $.01 par value (“Security”), from listing and registration on the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc, (“BSE” or “Exchange”).

On September 19, 2003, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Issuer approved a resolution to withdraw the Security from listing on the Exchange. The Board states that it made the decision to withdraw the Security from listing and registration on the BSE because the Security has been listed to trade on the Nasdaq National Market since February 27, 2003.

The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the requirements of the BSE rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration. The Issuer's application relates solely to the Security's withdrawal from listing on the BSE 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]

Any interested person may, on or before October 30, 2003, submit by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the BSE and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a hearing on the matter.

For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.^[5]

Jonathan G. Katz,

Secretary.
