Registration
Statement on Form S-1, Amendment No. 1
File
No. 333-282317
This
office represents Blue Line Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”). Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement
on Form S-1 has been filed with the Commission. The following are the Company’s responses to the comments received from the staff
by letter dated October 21, 2024.
The
numbers below correspond to the paragraph numbers in the staff’s comment letter. The numbers under the “Page No.” column
indicated the page number of the Prospectus where the responses to the staff’s comments can be found.

Footnote 172 to SEC Release 33-8869 provides in part as follows:
Contrary
to commenters’ concerns, Rule 144(i)(1)(i) is not intended to capture a “startup company” or, in other words, a company
with a limited operating history, in the definition of a reporting or non-reporting shell company, as we believe that such a company
does not meet the condition of having “no or nominal operations.”
The
Company is a “startup” company.
Even
if the Company is considered a shell, after the Company’s registration is declared effective the Company will have filed all “Form
10” information with the Commission and Rule 144 will be available to the Company’s shareholders.
Further,
if Rule 144 is not available to the Company’s shareholders, the selling shareholders would not be underwriters since the preamble
to Rule 144 provides in part as follows:
Rule
144 is not an exclusive safe harbor. A person who does not meet all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 still may claim any other
applicable exemption under the Act for the sale of the securities.
Page
No.
If
Rule 144 is not available, shareholders that own restricted stock often rely on the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(1) of the
Securities Act of 1933.
Lastly, the Company
is of the opinion that all of the selling shareholders will use the Registration Statement to sell their shares instead of using
Rule 144.
With
respect to whether the selling shareholders are underwriters:
●
An
underwriter is a person that purchases shares from the Company with a view to distribution. There was no private or public market
for the Company’s common stock when the selling shareholders purchased their shares from the Company and there is currently
no private or public market for the Company’s common stock. As a result, the selling shareholders could not have purchased
their shares with a view to distribution since there is no private or public market which the selling shareholders can use to make
a distribution.
●
Further,
Regulation M defines a “distribution” as an offering of securities, whether or not subject to registration under the
Securities Act that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special
selling efforts and selling methods. The selling shareholders will not use any special selling efforts or methods.

We do not believe this is an indirect primary offering. The Company will not receive any proceeds from this offering. None of the
selling shareholders have any agreements, understandings or arrangements to provide any funds to the Company. Each selling shareholder,
except Monarch Media, acquired their shares from the Company for cash. None of the selling shareholders are in the business of underwriting
securities. Only two of the selling shareholders have any relationship to the Company.

We do not know what can be added to the MD&A section. The Company has been in existence less than six months. As a result, a
comparison of the Company’s operating results with prior periods is not possible. The MD&A section discloses the factors
that will most significantly affect the Company’s future operating results, liquidity and capital resources, as well as the
Company’s future capital requirements.
