Dear Ms. Choo,

Pursuant to Rule 477(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and on behalf of Pacific Life & Annuity Company (“PL&A”) and Separate Account A of PL&A, we hereby request the withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 25 (“Amendment”) to the above referenced Registration Statement, filed on February 1, 2023.

We request withdrawal of the Amendment since we will not proceed with the product modifications within the time frame indicated in the Amendment. As a result, we respectfully request withdrawal of the Amendment as soon as practicable.

No securities were sold in connection with this Amendment.

Please note that we are filing this application to request a withdrawal of the above referenced Amendment only and are not applying for withdrawals of the entire Registration Statement.

Sincerely,
