Opinion
January 11, 1988
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Nicolai, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the imposed sentence of 6 to 12 years' imprisonment was neither harsh nor excessive. In the first instance, the imposed sentence was that for which the defendant bargained in exchange for his guilty plea (see, People v Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Moreover, in view of the fact the defendant is a second felony offender with an extensive criminal background coupled with the violent nature of this crime, the imposed sentence was appropriate. Mollen, P.J., Bracken, Rubin and Spatt, JJ., concur.
