On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules,
order affirmed, with costs.  Based on the arguments presented,
the Appellate Division did not err in concluding that the
insurance company could not rely on the August 1993 letter as the
basis to avoid coverage under the claims-made policy.  Acting
Chief Judge Ciparick and Judges Graffeo, Read, Smith, Pigott and
Jones concur.
Decided February 11, 2009
