Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Angel Vasquez, Appellant.

Opinion:
— Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Leslie Crocker Snyder, J.), rendered December 16, 1988, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree (two counts), and sentencing him to concurrent, indeterminate terms of imprisonment of from 6 years to life, 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 individ ual 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.)
Defendant's application to withdraw the request for probation interview and resentencing by the trial court, is granted.
The unpublished Decision and Order of this Court entered herein on October 3, 1991 is hereby recalled and vacated. Concur — Kupferman, J. P., Ross, Kassal and Smith, JJ.
