Appeal from the Cattaraugus County Court, Himelein, J.
Present — Denman, P.J., Fallon, Wesley, Doerr and Boehm, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends that, although the sentence imposed was the result of a plea bargain, we should reduce the sentence in the interest of justice. Given the serious nature of the crime and defendant's participation therein, and our affirmance of the judgments of conviction of the three codefendants (People v Gianzero, 216 A.D.2d 961; People v Bletson, 210 A.D.2d 1013, lv denied 85 N.Y.2d 936; People v Parks, 210 A.D.2d 1014), we decline to exercise our discretion to reduce the sentence as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see, CPL 470.15 [b]).
