Narrative:
We were in cruise to miami along jet 79 from lga at FL280 near stary intersection. We received an RA on TCASII (no TA was issued) 'descend, descend now.' a rapid descent was initiated. Copilot was flying aircraft. When RA was issued aircraft was on autoplt. Aircraft was taken off autoplt and descended to FL270 where a 'clear of conflict' was issued. Intruder aircraft showed 800 ft above on TCASII when descent was started. Captain notified ATC we were descending for an RA.

Title: POTENTIAL CONFLICT SENSED BY TCASII RA AND FLC RESPONSE WAS TO INITIATE EVASIVE ACTION DSCNT.
Narrative: WE WERE IN CRUISE TO MIAMI ALONG JET 79 FROM LGA AT FL280 NEAR STARY INTXN. WE RECEIVED AN RA ON TCASII (NO TA WAS ISSUED) 'DSND, DSND NOW.' A RAPID DSCNT WAS INITIATED. COPLT WAS FLYING ACFT. WHEN RA WAS ISSUED ACFT WAS ON AUTOPLT. ACFT WAS TAKEN OFF AUTOPLT AND DSNDED TO FL270 WHERE A 'CLR OF CONFLICT' WAS ISSUED. INTRUDER ACFT SHOWED 800 FT ABOVE ON TCASII WHEN DSCNT WAS STARTED. CAPT NOTIFIED ATC WE WERE DSNDING FOR AN RA.
