IN THE MATTER OF CORR v. CORR

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The appellant's contention that the Hearing Examiner applied the incorrect standard in denying his application for a downward modification of his spousal maintenance obligation is unpreserved for appellate review as that issue was not raised in his objections to the hearing examiner's determination ( see Matter of Elia v. Elia, 299 A.D.2d 358). In any event, the appellant failed to establish a substantial change in circumstances warranting downward modification ( see Burke v. Burke, 265 A.D.2d 285; Klapper v. Klapper, 204 A.D.2d 518).

The appellant's remaining contentions either are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.

ALTMAN, J.P., COZIER, MASTRO and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
