The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Janine Adams, Appellant.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Irene Duffy, J.), rendered on March 28, 1989, convicting defendant, upon a plea of guilty of attempted robbery in the second degree and sentencing defendant to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 3 to 6 years, unanimously affirmed.

Taking into account, "among other things, the crime charged, the particular circumstances of the individual before the court and the purpose of a penal sanction”, we perceive no abuse of discretion warranting a reduction in sentence. (People v Farrar, 52 NY2d 302 , 305.)
