Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continuing Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On April 2, 2009, Quest Energy Partners, L.P. ("the Partnership") received a letter from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, because of the Partnership’s failure to timely file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) it is not in compliance with the rules for continued listing on the exchange. On April 1, 2009, the Partnership filed a Form 12b-25, Notification of Late Filing, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") notifying the SEC of the Partnership's inability to timely file its Form 10-K.

In November 2008, the Partnership received a similar notice from Nasdaq related to the delinquent filing of its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008. As permitted by Nasdaq rules, the Partnership submitted a plan to regain compliance to Nasdaq Staff on January 20, 2009.

Following a review of this plan, Nasdaq Staff granted the Partnership an extension until May 18, 2009 to file its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008.

As a result of this additional delinquency, by April 17, 2009, the Partnership is required to submit to Nasdaq Staff an update to its original plan to regain compliance with respect to the filing requirement. The Partnership intends to timely submit an update of its compliance plan to Nasdaq Staff and to continue to execute on the plan to be back in compliance within the original extension period. A copy of the press release relating to this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
