The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Kianna Brown, Defendant-Appellant.

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Louis L. Nock, J. at plea; Laurie Peterson, J. at sentencing), rendered April 27, 2015, convicting her, upon a plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the third degree, and sentencing her to three years' probation

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Louis L. Nock, J. at plea; Laurie Peterson, J. at sentencing), rendered, April 27, 2015, 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 [2006], lv denied 8 NY3d 945 [2007]). Further, defendant was sentenced in accordance with her bargained for plea and should not now "be heard to complain that [s]he received what [s]he bargained for" (People v Fair, 33 AD3d at 558, quoting People v Chambers, 123 AD2d 270 [1986]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
