Item 3.01                      Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;Transfer of Listing
 
On April 13, 2011, Star Buffet, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company had a past due listing fee balance of $27,500.  The letter stated that unless this amount is paid in full, the trading of the Company’s stock will be suspended at the opening of business on April 25, 2011 and that Nasdaq will file a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.  The Company is currently considering the best alternative uses of its available resources and has not yet made a determination with respect to the listing fees.

  If the Company does not bring the delinquency current with Nasdaq before April 25, 2011, the Company’s stock will no longer trade on the Nasdaq market. Nasdaq further stated in its letter that the Company’s securities will not be immediately eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or the “Pink Sheets”. The securities may become eligible if a market maker makes application to register in and quote the security in accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-11, and such application (a “Form 211”) is cleared. Pursuant to FINRA Marketplace Rules 6530 and 6540, a Form 211 cannot be cleared if the issuer is not current in its filing obligations. Currently, the Company has not filed Form 10-Q for the quarter ending November 1, 2010 or Form 10-K for the year ending January 31, 2011. Only a market maker, not the Company, may file a Form 211.
