PEOPLE v. VILLAVINCENCIO

The only issue defendant raises on this appeal is that the sentence he received, two concurrent prison terms of four years to life, is harsh and excessive. Although defendant did not receive the minimum sentence allowed by statute, he also did not receive the maximum sentence (see, Penal Law § 70.00 [a]; [3] [a] [ii]). Even more significant, defendant pleaded guilty knowing that he would receive the sentence ultimately imposed by County Court. Under such circumstances, we reject defendant's claim that the sentence he bargained for is harsh and excessive (see, People v. Neira, 130 A.D.2d 518, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 715; People v. Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816, 817).

Judgment affirmed. Mahoney, P.J., Weiss, Mikoll, Levine and Harvey, JJ., concur.
