No. 189  SSM 22
Michael Jaglom, et al.,
            Respondents,
        v.
Insurance Company of Greater New 
York,
            Appellant.
Submitted by Thomas D. Hughes, for appellant.
Submitted by Michael D. Brown, for respondents.
MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed,
with costs, and the certified question answered in the
affirmative.  Questions of fact exist whether plaintiffs had a
reasonable good-faith belief that the tenants in an underlying
libel action against them would not seek to hold them liable,
precluding dismissal of their action against the insurer (see
Argentina v Otsego Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 86 NY2d 748, 750 [1995]).
