Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County, Harold J. Rothwax, J., Robert M. Haft, J.
We are unpersuaded that the consecutive sentences imposed were 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 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 [3d Dept 1988], lv denied 72 N.Y.2d 918.)
Concur — Kupferman, J.P., Sullivan, Carro, Rosenberger and Ellerin, JJ.
