Opinion

Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Lawton, Boehm and Fallon, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: We affirm for reasons stated in the decision at Erie County Court (Drury, J.). We add only that the contention of plaintiff regarding equitable estoppel may not be raised for the first time on appeal ( see, Telaro v Telaro, 25 N.Y.2d 433, 439, rearg denied 26 N.Y.2d 751; Oram v. Capone, 206 A.D.2d 839, 840). The contention of plaintiff that he should be permitted to reargue before the lower courts is without merit ( see, Siegel, N.Y. Prac § 254 [2d ed]). (Appeal from Order of Erie County Court, Drury, J. — Small Claims.)
