Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Wager, J.).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The parol evidence rule bars the defendant from introducing evidence of an alleged oral modification to the promissory note (see, General Obligations Law § 15-301). The defendant has failed to establish the applicability of any exception to the rule (see, Rose v Spa Realty Assocs., 42 N.Y.2d 338, 340-341; Pau v Bellavia, 145 A.D.2d 609; Mel-Stu Constr. Corp. v Melwood Constr. Corp., 131 A.D.2d 823). Mangano, P.J., O'Brien, Ritter, Pizzuto and Florio, JJ., concur.
