Opinion
July 27, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Buell, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The court properly dismissed the appellant's counterclaim on the ground that it was barred by the doctrine of collateral estoppel. The appellant had a full and fair opportunity to litigate the issues raised on his counterclaim in a prior action brought by him, inter alia, against his brother, the director of the plaintiff corporations (see, Stone v. Stone, 109 A.D.2d 834, appeal dismissed 65 N.Y.2d 1053). Thus, he is barred from relitigating these issues (see, S.T. Grand, Inc. v. City of New York, 32 N.Y.2d 300, rearg denied 33 N.Y.2d 658; Schwartz v Public Adm'r of County of Bronx, 24 N.Y.2d 65; Leonard Park Off. Plaza v. P P Sheet Metal Works, 51 A.D.2d 537, lv denied 39 N.Y.2d 705). Mollen, P.J., Brown, Weinstein and Rubin, JJ., concur.
