The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Joseph Urgitano, Appellant

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Joseph Urgitano, Appellant. [MAJORITY] Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Alvin Schlesinger, J.), rendered on September 28, 1988, convicting defendant, upon a plea of guilty, of manslaughter in the first degree, criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree and sentencing defendant to concurrent indeterminate terms of 8 to 24 years, 8 years to life and a definite term of one year, respectively, 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 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, lv denied 72 NY2d 918.) Concur—Murphy, P. J., Kupferman, Milonas, Rosenberger and Ellerin, JJ.
