People v. Adams

Opinion of the Court

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Irene Duffy, J.), rendered on March 28, 1989, convicting defendant, upon a plea of guilty of attempted robbery in the second degree and sentencing defendant to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 3 to 6 years, 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 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 NY2d 302, 305.)

Further, defendant was sentenced in accordance with her plea bargain and within statutory guidelines. "Having received the benefit of [her] bargain, defendant should be bound *434by its terms.” (People v Felman, 141 AD2d 889, 890, Iv denied 72 NY2d 918.) Concur — Carro, J. P., Ellerin, Wallach, Kupferman and Rubin, JJ.
