Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that the People failed to prove that he intended to and did, in fact, cause serious permanent disfigurement to the victim. The defendant's motion to dismiss owing to a lack of legally sufficient evidence was not specific enough to preserve the issue of his intent or whether he caused serious and permanent disfigurement. In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to support the conviction. The People proved that the defendant intended to, and did, in fact, cut the victim's face with a razor, requiring stitches across his face from his ear to his mouth, and leaving a scar which was visible eight months after the incident took place. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15). Furthermore, the sentencing court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the defendant's application for youthful offender treatment, and the sentence imposed was not excessive. Sullivan, J.P., Rosenblatt, Miller and Ritter, JJ., concur.
