Gainer (1982) 133 Cal.App.3d 636, 641 [ 184 Cal.Rptr. 120 ]; People v. Niren (1978) 76 *194 Cal.App.3d 850, 851 [ 143 Cal.Rptr. 130 ].) Consequently, the courts have uniformly held that an order denying a defendant’s request to resentence pursuant to section 1170 subdivision (d) is not appealable as an order affecting the substantial rights of the party.
