Insurance Company of Greater New York, Appellant. Submitted by Thomas D. Hughes, for appellant. Submitted by Michael D. Brown, for respondents.

Fire Ins. Co., 86 NY2d 748, 750 [1995]). -1- -2* * * * * * * * * * * * * * SSM No. 22 * * * On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules, order affirmed, with costs, and certified question answered in the affirmative, in a memorandum.
