—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Robert M. Haft, J.), rendered on December 8, 1986, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of murder in the second degree and sentencing defendant to an indeterminate prison term of from 15 years to life, unanimously affirmed.
*617We 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 received the benefit of his bargain, defendant should be bound by its terms.” (People v Felman, 141 AD2d 889, 890, Iv denied 72 NY2d 918.) We find defendant’s minimum sentence was not unconstitutional as applied to the facts of this case, and defendant’s psychiatric history does not present a reason to reconsider the sentence imposed.
