Attn: John Millette, Secretary

Dear Mr. Millette:

Special Opportunities Fund, Inc. is the beneficial owner of shares in
Deutsche High Income Opportunities Fund with a value in excess of
$2,000.00. We have held these shares for over 12 months and plan to
continue to hold them through the next meeting of stockholders.
Pursuant to rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we
hereby submit the following proposal and supporting statement for
inclusion in management's proxy materials for the next meeting of
stockholders for which this proposal is timely submitted.

RESOLVED:  The shareholders of Deutsche High Income Opportunities
Fund (the "Fund") request that the Board of Directors authorize a
self-tender offer for all outstanding shares of the Fund at or close
to net asset value (NAV).  If more than 50% of the Fund's outstanding
shares are submitted for tender, the tender offer should be cancelled
and the Fund should be liquidated or converted into an open-end mutual
fund.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT

	The Fund's long-term performance has been disappointing. From
inception in September 2006 through the end of 2014, the share price
return has been -1.32% per year. Also, the Fund's shares have traded at
a double-digit discount to NAV in every month since July 2013.
Consequently, we believe shareholders should have an opportunity to
realize a price much closer to NAV for their shares. Toward that end,
the board should consider authorizing a self-tender offer for all
outstanding shares of the Fund at or close to NAV. If a majority of the
Fund's outstanding shares are tendered, that would demonstrate that
there is insufficient shareholder support for continuing the Fund as a
closed-end fund. In that case, the tender offer should be cancelled and
the Fund should be liquidated or converted into an open-end mutual fund.


Very truly yours,

/S/ Phillip Goldstein
