(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

That, for purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(5)

That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to Registrant’s indemnification provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final a djudication of such issue.

Re:

Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed by All State Properties Holdings, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for All State Properties Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with Inducement Grants (the “Plan”).

In connection with the opinion expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records, and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of such opinion.  Based on the forgoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

The 3,325,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, that may be issued or delivered and sold pursuant to the Plan and the authorized forms of stock option, restricted stock or other applicable award agreements thereunder will be, when issued or delivered and sold in accordance with such Plan and agreements, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, provided that the consideration for such Shares is at least equal to the stated par value thereof.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the Corporation Law of the State of  Nevada, including the applicable provisions of the Nevada Constitution and the reported judicial decisions, interpreting such law, in each case as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  In addition, we have assumed that the resolutions authorizing the Company to issue or deliver and sell the Shares and Rights pursuant to the Plan and the applicable award agreements will be in full force and effect at all times at which such Shares and Rights are issued or delivered or sold by the Company, and the Company will take no action inconsistent with such resolutions.

In rendering the opinion above, we have assumed that each of the awards has been, or will soon be, approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or an authorized committee of the Board of Directors.

The opinion set forth above is limited to the corporate authorization and valid issuance of the Rights under the Corporation Law of the State of Nevada.  We do not express any opinion herein with respect to any other aspect of the Rights, the effect of equitable principles or fiduciary considerations relating to the authorization, execution, delivery or administration of the Rights Agreement or the issuance of the Rights or the enforceability or any particular provisions of the Rights Agreement.  In rendering the opinion set forth above, we have assumed that the board of directors of the Company has acted and will act in accordance with its fiduciary duties with respect to the authorization, execution, delivery and administration of the Rights Agreement and the issuance of the Rights.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed  the Company to effect registration of the Shares and the Rights to be issued and sold pursuant to the Plan under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”).  In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

Sincerely

John T. Root, Jr.
