In an action to recover damages for breach of a title insurance policy and for a declaration that the defendant is obligated to defend and indemnify the plaintiff for legal fees, costs, and expenses incurred in prosecuting this action and a related action entitled Pryor v Dinan, pending in the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, under index No. 01663/99, the plaintiff appeals from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Henry, J.), dated June 12, 2002, as granted the defendant's motion for leave to reargue the plaintiff's prior cross motion for summary judgment which was determined in an order of the same court dated September 28, 2001, and upon reargument, inter alia, denied the motion for summary judgment and dismissed those portions of the complaint seeking a declaration that the defendant is obligated to defend the plaintiff in the related action, indemnify her for legal fees, costs, and expenses incurred in that action, and indemnify her for legal fees, costs, and expenses in this action.
