THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. DARRYL WHITE, Appellant.

Ordered that the sentences are affirmed.

The defendant's claim that he should have been sentenced to concurrent terms of imprisonment of 2 to 4 years on each of his three convictions is without merit. The defendant violated the condition of his plea agreement that he not be rearrested and charged with a new crime between the time of his plea and sentencing. Under these circumstances, the court was not bound by its original promise and its imposition of an enhanced sentence of 5 to 15 years imprisonment on the conviction of robbery in the second degree under Indictment No. 1362/87, to run consecutively with concurrent terms of 2 1/3 to 7 years imprisonment on his convictions of two counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree under Indictment Nos. 3941/86 and 5110/86, was therefore proper (see, e.g., People v Outley, 80 N.Y.2d 702; People v Thorpe, 189 A.D.2d 903; People v Miller, 186 A.D.2d 826, 827).

Moreover, the defendant's sentences were not excessive. We note that the court actually imposed a lesser sentence on the defendant than it had promised it would if he did not live up to his plea agreement. Under the circumstances, he cannot now be heard to complain (see, People v Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816, 817). Sullivan, J.P., Miller, Copertino, Joy and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
