DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Since the defendant pleaded guilty with the understanding that he would receive the sentence which was thereafter actually imposed, he has no basis to now complain that his sentence was excessive ( see People v. Brown, 287 A.D.2d 464; People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). In any event, the defendant's sentence was not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
Defense counsel's ability to limit his client's conviction to attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree in full satisfaction of the indictment and to limit the sentence to four to eight years imprisonment refutes the defendant's claim that he was denied meaningful representation ( see People v. Ford, 86 N.Y.2d 397, 404).
