OPINION OF THE COURT
On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.11), 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.
