Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Joanne D. Quinones, J. at plea; Erika M. Edwards, J. at sentencing), rendered April 30, 2013, convicting him, upon a plea of guilty, of assault in the third degree, and imposing a split sentence of incarceration and probation.
Per Curiam.
Judgment of conviction (Joanne D. Quinones, J. at plea; Erika M. Edwards, J. at sentencing), rendered April 30, 2013, affirmed.
We are unpersuaded that the sentence imposed was unduly harsh or severe. Taking into account, "among other things, the [offense] 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 (see People v Farrar, 52 NY2d 302, 305 [1981]).
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 [1988], lv denied, 72 NY2d 918 [1988]).
This constitutes the decision and order of the Court.
