Re: Newport Corporation Form S-3 (File No. 333-46870)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Newport Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to Rule 477(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), hereby requests withdrawal of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-46870) together with all amendments and exhibits thereto (the ”Registration Statement”).

 

The Company is requesting withdrawal of the Registration Statement because all of the securities included therein have either been sold under the Registration Statement or are eligible to be sold under Rule 144(k) of the Act.

Please forward a copy of the order granting withdrawal of the Registration Statement to my attention at the address listed above.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Jeffrey B. Coyne
