Abstract: The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, to give a direct proof for the already established result of Styer which states that a univalent geometrically starlike function $f$ is a univalent annular starlike function if $f$ is bounded. Second, to show that the boundedness condition of $f$ is necessary, thus disproving a conjecture of Styer.
