Opinion

Judgment of the Supreme Court, New York County (Carol Arber, J.), rendered on October 27, 1986, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted murder in the second degree and sentencing defendant to an indeterminate prison term of from 8 to 16 years, unanimously affirmed.

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., Milonas, Rosenberger, Asch and Rubin, JJ.
