The sole issue raised by defendant-appellant is whether the evidence is sufficient to prove that the bruises inflicted upon his three year old victim caused extreme pain, an element of a class C felony of battery as defined by IC 35-42-2-1 and IC 35-41-1-2.

The jury heard and saw evidence showing bruises extending from the child’s ribcage to the middle of the thigh on the right side of her body and the opinion of a physician stating that a three year old child receiving blunt trauma causing these deep and severe bruises would suffer extreme pain.

The evidence is sufficient.

Judgment affirmed.
