A graph $G$ is $k$ list equitably colorable, if for any given $k$-uniform list assignment $L$, $G$ is $L$-colorable and each color appears on at most $\lceil\frac{|V(G)|}{k}\rceil$ vertices. In 2009, Li and Bu obtained that for planar graph $G$, if $\Delta(G)\geq6$ and without $4$- and $6$-cycles, then $G$ is $\Delta(G)$ list equitably colorable. In order to further prove the conjecture of list equitable coloring, in this paper, we focus on planar graph with $\Delta(G)=5$, and prove that if $G$ is a planar graph without $4$- and $6$-cycles, then $G$ is $\Delta(G)$ list equitably colorable.
