Re: Pacific Select Exec Separate Account of Pacific Life Insurance Company

Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we
hereby certify on behalf of Pacific Life & Annuity Company ("PL&A") and the
Pacific Select Exec Separate Account ("Separate Account") that the form of the
Prospectus for Pacific Select Exec II-NY Flexible Premium Variable Life
Insurance Policy that would have been filed under Rule 497(c) does not differ
from that contained in the Separate Account's Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on
Form S-6 which was filed electronically with the Commission on April 27, 2000.
Very truly yours,
/s/ DIANE N. LEDGER
