Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing and Registration on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (Cornerstone Strategic Value Fund, Inc., Common Stock, $.01 Par Value) File No. 1-09555

January 17, 2003.

Cornerstone Strategic Value fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Issuer"), has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act")1and rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,2to withdraw its Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Security"), from listing and registration on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE" or "Exchange").

2 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).

The Board of Directors of the Issuer ("Board") approved a resolution on December 2, 2002 to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on the NYSE. In making its decision to withdraw the Security from the Exchange, the Board determined that it was in the Issuer's best interest to delist from the NYSE and list on the American Stock Exchange LLC ("Amex") due to the continued decline in the level of net assets which would affect the Issuer's ability to remain listed on the NYSE. The Issuer anticipates that it will begin trading on the Amex once the Issuer is delisted from the NYSE.

The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with the NYSE's 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 NYSE and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Act3and shall not affect its obligation to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Act.4

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
