Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 1997
SEC File Nos. 811-7428, 33-56094
CIK No. 0000895430
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested that we render an opinion to
Nicholas-Applegate Mutual Funds (the "Fund") as to the matters described in Rule
24f-2(b)(1) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), which opinion
you are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") together with a Rule 24f-2 Notice for the fiscal year ended March
31, 1997 (the "Notice").
With respect to factual matters in this opinion, we have
relied upon the accuracy of the representations made to us by the Assistant
Treasurer of the Fund in a certificate executed by him and have not
independently verified the accuracy of such factual information. We have also
examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction as being true copies, of those records of the Fund, certificates of
public officials, and other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary
for the purpose of this opinion. We have assumed without independent
investigation or verification the authenticity of the documents submitted to us
as originals and the conformity to the original documents of all documents
submitted to us as copies.
Upon the basis of the foregoing and in reliance thereon,
and in reliance upon such other matters as we deem relevant under the
circumstances, it is our opinion that the
<PAGE>
shares of beneficial interest of the Fund issued during the Fund's fiscal year
ended March 31, 1997, the registration of which shares the Notice makes definite
in number, are legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We have not verified, are not passing upon and do not
assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the statements
contained in the Notice, or for the propriety of the filing of the Notice with
the Commission. Our opinion is limited to the Act and the laws of the State of
Delaware, and we express no opinion as to the applicability or effect of the
laws of any other jurisdiction.
This letter is furnished to you pursuant to your request
and to the requirements imposed upon you by Rule 24f-2(b)(1) under the Act and
is intended solely for your benefit for the purpose of completing the filing of
the Notice with the Commission. This letter may not be used for any other
purpose or furnished to or relied upon by any other persons, or including in any
filing made with any other regulatory authority, without our prior written
consent.
Very truly yours,
s/ PAUL, HASTINGS, JANOFSKY & WALKER LLP
