LETTER 1 filename1.txt May 31, 2005 Via Facsimile (925) 871-4046 and U.S. Mail Chip Patterson Vice President and General Counsel MacKenzie Patterson Fuller, Inc. 1640 School Street Moraga, CA 94556 RE: Concord Milestone Plus, LP Amended Schedule TO-T filed May 26, 2005 by Sutter Opportunity Fund 3, LLC, Sutter Opportunity Fund 3(TE), LLC, SCM Special Fund, LLC, MacKenzie Patterson Fuller, Inc., Robert E. Dixon, and C.E. Patterson File No. 005-40562 Ladies and Gentlemen: We have the following comments on the above-referenced filing. Schedule TO-T 1. We note the SCM-CMP Acquisition Fund has been substituted as a bidder in place of SCM Special Fund. Please advise us of the genesis and purpose of the substitution. Confirm, for example, that the substitution was due to a typographical error and that the original Schedule TO-T included the information for SCM Special Fund. Alternatively, advise us if the purpose of the substitution is to replace an initial bidder with a new bidder. To the extent the purpose of the substitution is to simply correct a typographical error, please revise your Schedule TO-T/A to specifically account for this change. To the extent you intended to replace an initial bidder with a new bidder, please make the disclosures required of all bidders, including, for example, the disclosure required by General Instruction C and Item 3 of Schedule TO. In addition, provide us with your legal analysis in support of your apparent conclusion that a bidder may withdraw from a tender offer once it has commenced yet still remain in compliance with Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Alternatively, revise the cover page of your Schedule TO-T/A to show SCM Special Fund as a bidder. Offer to Purchase Cover Page - Page 1 2. We note your response to comment 4 and disagree with your analysis and conclusion. Mr. C.E. Patterson, as a bidder identified on the cover of and signatory to the Schedule TO, is a purchaser regardless of his level of involvement in the offer. Please revise the offering materials, including the letter of transmittal, to include him as a purchaser. 3. Please disclose your response to comment 7 in the amended Offering materials. In addition, specify the nature of the access to the securities you will have at a time before all conditions to the offer have been satisfied, the tendered securities have been accepted and payment has been made. Disclose, for example, the time at which you will have authority to vote the securities. Introduction - Page 7 4. Please disclose your response to comment 9 in the offering materials. Terms of the offer - Page 9 5. We note that upon the expiration of the offer, and once all conditions are satisfied or waived, you will promptly pay for all tendered securities. Please revise to explain whether you will have the ability to effect the foregoing acceptance and payment of all tendered securities in light of the transfers restrictions identified in the partnership`s Schedule 14D-9. Conditions to the Offer - Page 14 6. We reissue comment 16. Please describe the authorizations or approvals to which you refer in the first paragraph. The ability of the issuer to determine, in its sole discretion, whether a condition has occurred may render the offer illusory.
