Opinion
May 19, 1986
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (McInerney, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
The defendant's contention that he was promised a sentence of three years to life is without support in the record. Rather, it appears clear that as part of the plea negotiations the People promised to recommend a sentence of five years to life which sentence, in fact, was imposed. As the defendant received the sentence for which he bargained, he cannot now be heard to complain (see, People v Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Further, as the defendant's counsel was able to negotiate a plea which satisfied the two-count A-I felony indictment in addition to three other then-pending, unrelated felony charges, we do not find that the defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel (see, People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137). Mollen, P.J., Thompson, Niehoff, Rubin and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
