Before: SONDRA MILLER, J.P., WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The Supreme Court correctly denied that branch of the plaintiff's motion which was for a downward modification of his child support obligation, as he failed to meet his burden of establishing a substantial change in circumstances (see, Matter of Prisco v. Buxbaum, 275 A.D.2d 461; Matter of Roth v. Bowman, 237 A.D.2d 447; Klapper v. Klapper, 204 A.D.2d 518, 519).
