plaintiff money damages against defendant Life Insurance Company of

unanimously vacated and the same order as in Christodoulides v First
Unum Life Ins. Co. ([appeal No. 1] ___ AD3d ___ [June 15, 2012]) is
further modified on the law by denying that part of plaintiff’s cross
motion against defendant Life Insurance Company of Boston and New
York, and by vacating the declaration and the award of damages against
that defendant, and as further modified the order is affirmed without
costs.

     Same Memorandum as in Christodoulides v First Unum Life Ins. Co.
([appeal No. 1] ___ AD3d ___ [June 15, 2012]).
