We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying report
titled Report of Management, that Hibernia National Bank (the Company), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Hibernia Corporation, complied with the minimum servicing
standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform

those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's
assertions about the Company's compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and,

compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide
a legal determination on the Company's compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the
aforementioned requirements during the year ended December 31, 2001, is
