Opinion

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Pedro Falcon, Defendant-Appellant.

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, Bronx County (Marc J. Whiten, J.), rendered December 2, 2015, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of endangering the welfare of a child, and sentencing him to three years of probation.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Marc J. Whiten, J.) rendered December 2, 2015, affirmed.

We are unpersuaded that the probationary sentence imposed was unduly harsh or severe, and find no extraordinary circumstances warranting a reduction of the sentence in the interest of justice (see People v Fair, 33 AD3d 558, 558 [2006], lv denied 8 NY3d 945 [2007]). Further, defendant was sentenced in accordance with his bargained for plea and should not now "be heard to complain that he received what he bargained for" (id. at 558, quoting People v Chambers, 123 AD2d 270, 270 [1986]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
