Summary
In Wilson, the basis of the lawsuit and the focus of the jurisdictional inquiry involved only the defendant's limited guarantee of an underlying negotiable investor promissory note.
Summary of this case from Lone Star Industries v. Chieftain CementOpinion
March 28, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Alvin Schlesinger, J.).
We are unpersuaded that the sentence imposed was unduly harsh or severe. Taking into account, "among other things, the crime charged, the particular circumstances of the individual before the court and the purpose of a penal sanction", we perceive no abuse of discretion warranting a reduction in sentence. (People v Farrar, 52 N.Y.2d 302, 305.)
Further, defendant was sentenced in accordance with his plea bargain and within statutory guidelines. "Having received the benefit of his bargain, defendant should be bound by its terms." (People v Felman, 141 A.D.2d 889, 890, lv denied 72 N.Y.2d 918.)
