People v. Vera

194 A.D.2d 404 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

June 15, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Arlene R. Silverman, J.).


Defendant validly waived his right to claim the legal, negotiated sentence is excessive (People v. Seaberg, 74 N.Y.2d 1, 9-10). Were we to review the claim, we would note that the factors presented by defendant in seeking a reduction of his sentence were known to, and considered by, the sentencing court. Defendant was sentenced in accordance with his plea bargain and within statutory guidelines. Having received the benefit of his bargain, defendant should be bound thereby (People v. Cipullo, 171 A.D.2d 432, lv denied 77 N.Y.2d 993).
