_______________________________/

Defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint came on for hearing before this court on

August 17, 2005. Plaintiff Radfer Trust appeared by its counsel David Polin, and defendant

First Unum Life Insurance Company appeared by its counsel Anna M. Martin. Having read the

parties’ papers and carefully considered their arguments and the relevant legal authority, and

good cause appearing, the court hereby GRANTS the motion as follows, for the reasons

stated at the hearing.

1. The first cause of action is dismissed for failure to exhaust administrative

remedies prior to filing the present action.

2. The second and third causes of action are dismissed with prejudice because

they are barred by res judicata.

3. The third cause of action is dismissed for failure to state a claim. Because the

court finds, as stated at the hearing, that granting leave to amend this claim would be futile, the

dismissal is without leave to amend.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 17, 2005
