[*1]THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,
vNATHAN GILMORE, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT. 

SARAH S. HOLT, CONFLICT DEFENDER, ROCHESTER (FABIENNE N. SANTACROCE OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
SANDRA DOORLEY, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ROCHESTER (LISA GRAY OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT. 

	Appeal from a judgment of the Monroe County Court (Douglas A. Randall, J.), rendered December 11, 2018. The judgment convicted defendant upon a guilty plea of burglary in the first degree. 
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of burglary in the first degree (Penal Law § 140.30 [2]), defendant contends that his sentence is unduly harsh and severe. Although defendant has no prior criminal record, he admittedly broke into the victim's home and repeatedly struck him with a baseball bat, causing the victim to sustain a concussion and several fractured bones. In light of the violent nature of the offense and considering that defendant received significantly less than the maximum term of imprisonment, we perceive no basis in the record to exercise our power to modify the negotiated sentence as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see  CPL 470.15 [6] [b]).
