    In the Matter of William J. Kincade, Appellant, v Barristers Tavern Corp., Respondent.
   In a proceeding pursuant to Business Corporation Law § 1104-a, inter alia, for the judicial dissolution of the defendant Barristers Tavern Corp., the petitioner appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Winick, J.), entered August 29, 1990, which dismissed the petition.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Since the petitioner permitted years to elapse before registering an objection to the manner in which the corporation authorized the issuance of certain shares of stock, he is estopped from arguing that the issuance was improper (cf., Block v Magee, 146 AD2d 730, 733; see, Business Corporations Law § 622 [e] [5]). In any event, we reject the petitioner’s contention that the stock issuance, which was approved by a majority vote of the outstanding shares, was void because a majority of the corporation’s directors did not also approve the measure. The corporation’s certificate of incorporation contains no requirement that the issuance of stock be approved by a vote of the board of directors. Further, the cases relied upon by the petitioner are factually and legally inapposite (see, e.g., Matter of Tabulating Card Co. v Leidesdorf, 32 Misc 2d 720). Thompson, J. P., Eiber, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
