Re: | Request for Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 533, 538, 541, 544, 562 and 566 to the Registration Statement of Unified Series Trust (“Registrant”) (SEC File No. 811-21237 and CIK 0001199046) |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Registrant filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 533 for the purpose of forming three new series, the NightShares 500 ETF, the NightShares 100 ETF, and the NightShares 2000 ETF. The Registrant filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 538 for the purpose of responding to the Staff’s comments on Post-Effective Amendment No. 533 and making non-material changes.
Only the NightShares 500 ETF and NightShares 2000 ETF sold securities in connection with the offering, and those ETFs liquidated on August 10, 2023 pursuant to a supplement filed on July 14, 2023.
With respect to the NightShares 100 ETF, the Registrant filed Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 541 and 544 for the purpose of amending the strategy of the ETF. The Registrant then filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 562 for the purpose of again amending the strategy of the ETF and filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 566 for the purpose of extending the effective date of Post-Effective Amendment No. 562.
The filing dates and times and the accession numbers for these filings are:

Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant respectfully requests the consent of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to the withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 533, 538, 541, 544, 562 and 566.
