NOTIFICATION OF THE REMOVAL FROM LISTING
AND REGISTRATION OF THE STATED SECURITIES

New York Stock Exchange LLC (the ?Exchange? or the
?NYSE?) hereby notifies the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ?Commission?) of its intention to
remove the entire class of Common Stock, Capitol
Trust I 8.50% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities,
and Capitol Trust XII 10.50% Trust Preferred Securities
(the ?Securities?) of Capitol Bancorp Limited (the
?Company?) from listing and registration on the Exchange
at the opening of business on February 28, 2011,
pursuant to the provisions of Rule 12d2-2 (b), because,
in the opinion of the Exchange, the Securities are no
longer suitable for continued listing and trading on the
Exchange.  The Company has fallen below the NYSE
continued listing standard regarding average global
market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading
day period of less than $15 million, which is a minimum
threshold for listing.

1.  The Exchange?s Listed Company Manual,
Sections 802.01B, states, in part, that the Exchange would
promptly delist a security of either a domestic or non-U.S.
issuer when:

The issuer?s average global market capitalization over a
consecutive 30 trading-day period falls below $15,000,000,
regardless of the original standard under which the issuer
listed.

2.  The Exchange, on January 19, 2011, determined that
the Securities should be suspended from trading before
the opening of the trading session on January 27, 2011,
and directed the preparation and filing with the
Commission of this application for the removal of the
Securities from listing and registration on the Exchange.
The Company was notified by letter on January 19, 2011.

3.  Pursuant to the above authorization, a press release
was issued on January 19, 2011 and an announcement
was made on the ?ticker? of the Exchange at the close of
the trading session on January 19, 2011 and other various
dates of the proposed suspension of trading in the
Securities. Similar information was included on the
Exchange?s website.  Trading in the Securities on the
Exchange was suspended before the opening of the trading
session on January 27, 2011.

4. The Company had a right to appeal to the Committee
for Review of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation
the determination to delist its Securities, provided that it
filed a written request for such a review with the Secretary
of the Exchange within ten business days of receiving
notice of delisting determination. The Company did not
file such request within the specified time period.
