OPINION OF THE COURT
Acting Chief Judge Simons.
This Court has accepted the following question certified by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit: "Whether a defendant manufacturer’s pretrial agreement with an injured plaintiff, admitting liability for two percent of any damages a jury might award, and preventing plaintiff from enforcing against defendant any judgment in excess of 2% of plaintiff’s total damages, is a 'release from liability’ within the meaning of § 15-108 (c) of the General Obligations Law.” (970 F2d 1123, 1126.) We answer that question in the affirmative.
