Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Herbert Altman, J.).
The sentencing court properly denied defendant's application for substitution of counsel, the plea minutes belying his conclusory claim that his attorney did not fully apprise him of the consequences of pleading guilty ( see, People v Braun, 167 A.D.2d 164). Nor should defendant's sentence be reduced in the interest of justice. When he failed to perform under a cooperation agreement, the court, by the terms of that agreement, was no longer bound to impose the promised sentence. The sentence ultimately imposed reflects the gravity of defendant's crimes ( see, People v Mickens, 215 A.D.2d 322, lv denied 86 N.Y.2d 798).
