February 25, 1994
IDS Life Insurance Company of New York
20 Madison Avenue Extension
Albany, New York 12203
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Registration Statements of IDS Life of New York
Accounts 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11 Form N-4 (File No. 33-4174/2-78194) under
the Securities Act of 1933 registering an indefinite amount of
securities pursuant to Rule 24f-2 adopted under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. IDS Life Accounts 4, 5, 6, and 9 became effective October
11, 1981 and April 30, 1986, respectively. IDS Life Accounts 10 and 11
became effective on October 8, 1991.
In connection with the Rule 24f-2 Notice for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1992, I have made such examination of the matter of fact
and law as I have deemed appropriate, and am of the opinion that:
1) During the entire period covered by the Rule 24f-2 Notice, IDS
Life of New York Accounts 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11 were validly
created and existing separate accounts of IDS Life Insurance
Company of New York duly authorized, as a unit investment
trust, to issue and sell the securities registered, and
2) The securities issued, being variable annuity contracts, were
legally issued and non-assessable and require no further
payment by the purchaser.
I hereby consent that the foregoing opinion of counsel may be used in
connection with the Rule 24f-2 Notice.
Sincerely,
Mary Ellyn Minenko
Attorney at Law
