—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Shirley Levittan, J.), rendered February 8, 1989, convicting defendant, upon a plea of guilty, of manslaughter in the first degree (Penal Law § 125.20 [1]) and sentencing him to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of from 8 Vs to 25 years, unanimously affirmed.

We are unpersuaded that the sentence imposed was unduly harsh or excessive. 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, "[hjaving 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—Sullivan, J. P., Milonas, Kassal, Wallach and Smith, JJ.
