Motion for Resentencing Under CPL 440.46 (Drug Reform Law) Properly Denied

The Second Department affirmed Supreme Court’s denial of defendant’s motion for resentencing pursuant to CPL 440.46:

When a defendant is eligible for resentencing pursuant to CPL 440.46, there is ” a presumption in favor of granting a motion for resentencing relief absent a showing that substantial justice dictates the denial thereof'”…. “However, resentencing is not automatic, and the determination is left to the discretion of the Supreme Court”…. In exercising its discretion, a court may “consider any facts or circumstances relevant to the imposition of a new sentence which are submitted by [the defendant] or the people” (L 2004, ch 738, § 23), including the defendant’s institutional record of confinement, the defendant’s prior criminal history, the severity of the current offense, whether the defendant has shown remorse, and whether the defendant has a history of parole or probation violations…. Relevant considerations include the defendant’s status as a probation or parole violator as a consequence of the conviction for which resentencing is sought…, and the defendant’s conviction of a violent felony subsequent to the commission of the narcotics felony for which resentencing is sought…. People v Parker, 2013 NY Slip Op 04831, 2nd Dept 6-26-13
