— Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Monserrate, J.), rendered September 7,
p. 420
1990 in Broome County, convicting defendant upon his plea of guilty of the crime of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fourth degree.
We reject defendant’s contention that the prison sentence he received as a second felony offender of 2Vz to 5 years was harsh or excessive. The sentence was well within the statutory guidelines and was in accordance with the plea bargain (see, People v Mackey, 136 AD2d 780 , lv denied 71 NY2d 899 ). Given defendant’s extensive criminal background and the fact that the plea was to a reduced charge, we find no basis for disturbing the sentence imposed (see, People v Dean, 155 AD2d 774 , lv denied 75 NY2d 812 ).
Mahoney, P. J., Casey, Yesawich Jr. and Mercure, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
