This Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to shares of Series M and Series T Auction Rate Preferred Stock having a liquidation value of $25,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends (the “ARPS”) of Alliance California Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (the “Issuer”).  The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at Alliancebernstein L.P., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105.  Both series of ARPS issued by the Issuer are treated as one class of securities for purposes of this Schedule 13D.
 
Item 2.  Identity and Background
 
This Statement is being filed on behalf of each of the following persons (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):  RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC (“RiverNorth”), RiverNorth Capital Partners, L.P. (“RNCP”) and RiverNorth Institutional Partners, L.P. (“RNIP”).  This Statement relates to the ARPS held by RNCP and RNIP. The address of the principal business offices of the Reporting Persons is 325 N. LaSalle St., Suite 645, Chicago, Illinois 60654.
 
RiverNorth is a Delaware limited liability company and a majority-owned subsidiary of RiverNorth Holding Co. that provides discretionary investment management services primarily to registered investment companies, private investment companies and institutional clients.  RiverNorth is the general partner of and serves as the investment adviser to RNCP and RNIP, each of which is a Delaware limited partnership.  RNCP and RNIP are private investment companies.  Information concerning each natural person who is an executive officer, director or controlling person (the “Listed Persons”) of RiverNorth is listed on Annex A hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. All of the Listed Persons are citizens of the United States.
 
During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Listed Persons, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction which resulted in a judgment, decree or final order (i) enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or (ii) finding a violation with respect to such laws.
 
Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
The aggregate amount of funds used by the Reporting Persons to purchase the ARPS reported herein was approximately $30.5 million.  The source of funds was the working capital of RNCP and RNIP.
 
Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction
 
The ARPS were purchased for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons have not acquired the subject securities with any purpose or with the effect of changing or influencing control of the Issuer, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.  The Reporting Persons may, however, seek to engage in discussions with the Issuer in the future regarding liquidity solutions with respect to the outstanding ARPS.

(a)-(b)   The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (11) of the cover pages of this Statement are incorporated herein by reference.
