THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. WILLIAM K. HIGGINS, Appellant.

In satisfaction of a two-count indictment, defendant pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of attempted assault in the second degree and was sentenced as a second felony offender in accordance with the negotiated plea agreement to a prison term of 2 to 4 years. Defendant appeals, contending that the sentence should be reduced in the interest of justice. We disagree. Defendant was sentenced in accordance with the plea agreement and, given his lengthy and violent criminal history, we find no extraordinary circumstances warranting a reduction of the sentence in the interest of justice ( see People v. Smith, 2 AD3d 1057, 1058, lv denied 2 NY3d 746; People v. Archangel, 272 AD2d 686, 687).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
