SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Redwood Empire Bancorp, Common Stock, No Par Value) 
File No. 1-10868

November 16, 1998.
    Redwood Empire Bancorp (``Company'') has filed an application with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to switch from 
listing the Security on Amex to listing the Security on Nasdaq in order 
to provide the Company with greater visibility and the Company's 
stockholders with greater liquidity. The Company notified Amex of its 
intent to withdraw its Security from listing and registration on the 
Exchange and to apply to Nasdaq.
    The Security has begun trading on the Nasdaq and the Company 
believes it is no longer necessary to continue trading on the Amex.
    The Company has complied with Rule 18 of Amex by filing with the 
Exchange a certified copy of the resolution adopted by the Board of 
Directors authorizing the withdrawal of the Security and by providing 
Amex with the reasons for the proposed withdrawal.
    The Exchange has informed the Company that Amex will not object to 
the Company's application to withdrawal its Security from listing and 
registration on the Exchange. This application relates solely to the 
withdrawal from listing of the Company's Security from the Amex.
    By reason of Section 12 of the Act and the rules and regulations of 
the Commission thereunder, the Company shall continue to be obligated 
to file

Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
Exchange 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
