Reply to Comment by A. Moroz
  In (quant-ph/9911099 version 1) A. Moroz claims that the exponent $\eta$ from the local photon density of states near a band gap edge $\rho(\omega) = K(\vec{r}) |\omega_c - \omega|^\eta$ varies strongly with the position in the crystal. We show that this is not the case and we demonstrate the error in his analysis.
