In view of defendant's multiple felony drug convictions, his history of absconding and violating parole, and that the lesser charge to which defendant pleaded guilty entailed the possession of a significant amount of cocaine, the court properly exercised its discretion in concluding that substantial justice would dictate the denial of his application for resentencing ( see People v Gonzalez, 29 AD3d 400, lv denied 7 NY3d 867).
