Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Steven Georgison, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Joseph Cerbone, J.), rendered on March 5, 1987, convicting defendant, upon a plea of guilty, of two counts of robbery in the first degree and violation of probation and sentencing defendant to concurrent indeterminate terms of imprisonment of ll/i to 15 years with the violation of probation charge to be covered by the imposed sentence, 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 re ceived 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 — Ross, J. P., Milonas, Rosenberger, Asch and Kassal, JJ.
