Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v April Davis, Also Known as Jacqueline Cooper, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (George Roberts, J.), rendered on October 13, 1987, convicting defendant upon a plea of guilty of burglary in the third degree and sentencing defendant to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of one to three 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 by its terms." (People v Felman, 141 AD2d 889, 890, lv denied 72 NY2d 918.) Concur—Murphy, P. J., Milonas, Ellerin, Ross and Rubin, JJ.
