Dear Ms. Hsu and Ms. Cheng:
The Registrant has received Staff’s comment letter dated May 16, 2016 (the “Staff Letter”) and hereby requests additional time beyond (10) business days in which to prepare and file its Response to the Staff Letter. Several of the Staff’s comments concern third parties who acted as servicers or, in one case as a vendor of a servicer, in the transactions referenced above. Registrant is in the process of contacting such third parties and eliciting information from them in order to prepare responses to Staff’s comments. Additional response time will allow us to communicate with such third parties and to draft a complete response to Staff’s comments with the most accurate and detailed information possible.
The Registrant anticipates it will comply with the Staff’s request on or before June 30, 2016.
