Order, Supreme Court, New York County, (Charles H. Solomon, J.), entered on or about November 29, 2011, which, upon remand from this Court (87 A.D.3d 443, 928 N.Y.S.2d 278 [1st Dept. 2011] ), adhered to its prior order denying defendant's CPL 440.46 motion for resentencing, unanimously affirmed.
The court properly exercised its discretion in determining that substantial justice dictated denial of the motion ( see e.g. People v. Gonzalez, 29 A.D.3d 400, 815 N.Y.S.2d 75 [1st Dept. 2006],lv. denied7 N.Y.3d 867, 824 N.Y.S.2d 612, 857 N.E.2d 1143 [2006] ). Defendant's extensive criminal record and 30 prison disciplinary infractions outweighed the positive factors cited by defendant ( see e.g. People v. Murray, 89 A.D.3d 567, 933 N.Y.S.2d 15 [1st Dept. 2011],lv. denied18 N.Y.3d 960, 944 N.Y.S.2d 489, 967 N.E.2d 714 [2012] ).
