Re: MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut
File No. 333-
Unallocated Group Variable Annuity Contract
Dear Sirs
This opinion is furnished in connection with the proposed offering of a certain
variable income annuity contract (""Contract") issued by MetLife Insurance
Company of Connecticut ("MICC") and MetLife of CT Separate Account QPN for
Variable Annuities ( the "Account") under Registration Statement No. 333--
(""Registration Statement") and described therein, filed by MICC under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. MICC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
MetLife, Inc. and an affiliate of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
I have made such examination of law and examined such reports of MICC (including
the Account) and of other documents as in my judgment are necessary or
appropriate to render the opinion expressed below. In my opinion:
1. MICC is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Connecticut.
2. The offer and sale by MICC of the Contracts have been duly authorized
and each Contract, when delivered and when the first purchase payment
thereunder is made, all in accordance with the prospectus
("Prospectus") included in the Registration Statement and in
compliance with the applicable local law, will be a legal and binding
obligation of MICC in accordance with its terms. Owners of Contracts,
as such, will not be subject to any deductions and charges by MICC
other than those described or referred to in the Prospectus
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit 9 to the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
Xxxx X. Xxxx
