Company (the "Shares"), $.001 par value, per share, issued pursuant to a
Consulting Agreement (the "Agreements") between the Company and Consultant.
We have examined the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 in

Incorporation of the Company as certified by the Secretary of State of the State

paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
