    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v John Russo, Appellant.
   —Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Herbert I. Altman, J.), rendered on March 13, 1987, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree under two separate indictments and sentencing defendant to two concurrent prison terms of five years to life, 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 received 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—Kupferman, J. P., Ross, Asch, Kassal and Wallach, JJ.
