People v. Burns
Opinion of the Court
— Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621), the proof was sufficient to establish defendant’s entry into the victim’s apartment. Under Penal Law § 140.00 (5), the element of entry is established "when a person intrudes within a building, no matter how slightly, with any part of his or her body” (People v King, 61 NY2d 550, 555; see also, People v Fraticelli, 172 AD2d 622, 623, lv denied 77 NY2d 995; People v Bright, 162 AD2d 212, lv denied 76 NY2d 938).
