People v. Jiminez

Opinion of the Court

Judgment of the Supreme Court, Bronx County (John Collins, J.), rendered on July 26, 1988, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the second degree and sentencing him to an indeterminate term of from 4 Vi to 9 years’ imprisonment, is unanimously affirmed.

We are unpersuaded that the sentence imposed was unduly harsh or severe. Taking into account "among other things, the crime charged, the particular circumstances of the individual *446before the court and the purpose of a penal sanction”, we perceive no abuse of discretion warranting a reduction in sentence (People v Farrar, 52 NY2d 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 AD2d 889, 890, lv denied 72 NY2d 918). Concur— Kupferman, J. P., Ross, Milonas, Asch and Ellerin, JJ.
