Supplemental Opinion on Denial op Petitions por Rehearing The Defendant, Mac-O-Y, contends that the cause of action, Count I of plaintiff’s complaint against Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, having been sustained by this Court that the alternate Count against Mac-O-Y should be dismissed, interpreting our opinion to mean that Metropolitan Life Insurance Company is primarily liable for failure to give notice. Prom the pleadings filed herein and the motion to dismiss both Counts, granted by the trial court, we are unable to determine whether or not the Defendant, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, or the Defendant, Mac-O-Y, was under a duty to give reasonable notice of cancellation of the master life insurance policy to the decedent. It is our conclusion that the decedent, William P. Lindgren, was entitled to notice of the cancellation and we are unable to determine from this record whether the responsibility for this notice is with the Defendant, Metropolitan, or the Defendant, Mac-O-Y, for failure to exercise due care in the administration of the insurance program. Por the foreg'oing reasons we adhere to the opinion and the Petitions for Rehearing are denied.
