Opinion

— In an action for a judgment declaring, inter alia, that the defendant is obligated to pay the plaintiff certain disposal fees pursuant to a solid waste disposal agreement, the plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Warshawsky, J.), entered May 8, 2007, which, upon an order of the same court entered November 25, 2003, among other things, granting the defendant’s cross motion for summary judgment on the issue of liability on its counterclaims, and authorizing it to assert such counterclaims as a setoff against the plaintiffs claims for unpaid disposal fees, declared, inter alia, that neither the plaintiff nor the defendant have any recovery against the other on their respective claims and counterclaims because the defendant’s setoffs exceed the plaintiff’s damages under its sixth cause of action for disposal fees under the solid waste disposal agreement and thus reduce the plaintiffs damages to zero.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Most of the issues raised on this appeal were previously determined against the plaintiff on a prior appeal (see Millenium Envtl., Inc. v City of Long Beach of State of N.Y., 35 AD3d 408 [2006] ). Reconsideration of those issues is barred by the doctrine of law of the case (see State of Nevo York v Westchester Joint Water Works, 17 AD3d 665 [2005]; Wendy v Spector, 305 AD2d 403 [2003]; MJD Constr. v Woodstock Lawn & Home Maintenance, 299 AD2d 459 [2002]).

[740]*740The plaintiffs only remaining challenge, to the order of the Supreme Court entered November 25, 2003, granting the defendant’s cross motion for summary judgment on the issue of liability on its counterclaims, was waived by its failure to assert in its verified reply to the counterclaims the defenses it now raises (see CPLR 3211 [e], [a] [1], [5], [6]). Skelos, J.E, Lifson, Santucci and Garni, JJ., concur.
