## Opinion text

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Clifford Scott, J.), rendered on March 20, 1989, convicting defendant, upon a plea of guilty, of burglary in the first degree and sentencing him to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 2 to 6 years, is 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 *213 sentence. (People v Farrar, 52 NY2d 302, 305 .) We also find the court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant youthful offender status.
Further, defendant was sentenced in accordance with his plea bargain and within statutory guidelines. "Having received the benefit of his bargain, defendant would be bound by its terms.” (People v Felman, 141 AD2d 889, 890 , lv denied 72 NY2d 918 .) Concur—Murphy, P. J., Kupferman, Ross and Ellerin, JJ.
