THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. LUIS RIVERA, Appellant.

Ordered that the order is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying his motion for resentencing on substantial justice grounds. The defendant has an extensive criminal record dating back to 1989, which includes a conviction for the violent felony offense of robbery in the first degree, and two prior drug-related felonies. Further, all three of the defendant's drug-related felony offenses were committed while he was on parole. Under the circumstances, considerations of substantial justice support the Supreme Court's determination to deny the motion ( see People v Colon, 77 AD3d 849, 850; People v Curry, 52 AD3d 732; People v Perez, 57 AD3d 921, 922; People v Stamps, 50 AD3d 827, 828; People v Flores, 50 AD3d 1156, 1156-1157; People v Sanders, 36 AD3d 944, 946-947).
