    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Thor Corbin, Appellant.
    [934 NYS2d 389]
   The People established that the victim had a sufficient familiarity with defendant to make a confirmatory identification (see People v Rodriguez, 79 NY2d 445 [1992]). A few months before the crime the victim had a conversation with defendant about mating their dogs, after which the victim saw defendant many times in the neighborhood while defendant was driving his car. The victim also had a fight with defendant shortly before the shooting, and was able to provide the investigating detective with defendant’s first name.

The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007]). We reject defendant’s challenge to the weight of the evidence supporting the element of serious physical injury. Seventeen months after the shooting, the victim, a high school student, led a less active life than before the crime because he still suffered pain from his wound. This established a protracted impairment of health (see Penal Law § 10.00 [10]; People v Graham, 297 AD2d 579, 580 [2002], lv denied 99 NY2d 535 [2002]).

We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence. Concur— Gonzalez, EJ., Friedman, Moskowitz, Acosta and Richter, JJ.
