The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Ebrima Maria Defendant-Appellant.

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Lisa A. Sokoloff, J. at plea; Kate Paek, J. at sentencing), rendered January 22, 2016, convicting him, upon his plea of guilty, of resisting arrest, and sentencing him to two years' probation.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Lisa A. Sokoloff, J. at plea; Kate Paek, J. at sentencing), rendered January 22, 2016, affirmed.

We are unpersuaded that the probationary sentence imposed was unduly harsh or severe, and find no extraordinary circumstances warranting a reduction of the sentence in the interest of justice (see People v Fair, 33 AD3d 558, 558 [2006], lv denied 8 NY3d 945 [2007]). Further, defendant was sentenced in accordance with his bargained-for plea and should not now "be heard to complain that he received what he bargained for" (id., quoting People v Chambers, 123 AD2d 270, 270 [1986]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
