(Registration No. 333-126558) |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (the Company) hereby applies pursuant to Rule 477(b) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to withdraw the above-referenced Registration Statement filed
by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on July 13, 2005.
The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission, and no shares of
common stock have been offered or sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.
The investors who held shares of common stock that were to be registered for resale under the
Registration Statement have since waived their registration rights with respect to such shares.
Accordingly, the Company is no longer required to file the Registration Statement.
The Company also respectfully requests, in accordance with Rule 457(p) of the Securities Act,
that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be
credited to the account of the Company for future use by the Company.
If you have any questions regarding this application, please contact Gene Oshman of Baker
Botts L.L.P., the Companys legal counsel, at (713) 229-1178.
