People v. Khalid

Opinion of the Court

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Daniel Sullivan, J.), rendered on December 9, 1988, convicting defendant, upon a plea of guilty of attempted murder in the second degree and assault in the second degree and sentencing defendant to concurrent indeterminate terms of imprisonment of 8 to 16 years and 2Y2 to 5 years, respectively, 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 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, Iv denied 72 NY2d 918.) Concur — Murphy, P. J., Milonas, Ellerin, Ross and Rubin, JJ.
