PRESENT: Lowe, III, P.J., Schoenfeld, Ling-Cohan, JJ.
Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Melissa C. Jackson, J., at plea; Erika M. Edwards, at sentencing), rendered October 7, 2013, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of unlicensed driving, and sentencing him to a fine of $200.
Per Curiam.
Judgment of conviction (Melissa C. Jackson, J., at plea; Erika M. Edwards, at sentencing), rendered October 7, 2013, affirmed.
We are unpersuaded that the bargained for sentence imposed in accordance with defendant's plea agreement, viz, payment of a $200 fine, was excessive. "Ordinarily... where defendant effects a plea bargain and receives the precise sentence that was promised, he should not later be heard to complain that he received what he bargained for" (People v Fair, 33 AD3d 558, 558 [2006], lv denied 8 NY3d 945 [2007], quoting People v Chambers, 123 AD2d 270, 270 [1986]). Given the nature of the felony offense originally charged and the absence of extraordinary circumstances, it cannot be said that the monetary sentence imposed was either harsh or excessive (see People v Higgins, 19 AD3d 877 [2005], lv denied 5 NY3d 828 [2005]).
