Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Alvin Schlesinger, J.).
We are unpersuaded that the imposition of consecutive sentences in these circumstances was unduly harsh or excessive. Taking into account, "among other things, the crime[s] 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 "[h]aving 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.)
