People v. Hodges
Opinion of the Court
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Ohlig, J.), rendered October 17, 1997, convicting him of burglary in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that the People failed to prove that he entered the premises with the intent to commit a crime therein. This contention is unpreserved for appellate review since it was not advanced with specificity before the trial court in support of the defendant’s motion to dismiss (see, CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Udzinski, 146 AD2d 245, 250). In any event, view
In light of the defendant’s testimony that he made several unlawful entries into the premises, the supplemental instruction given by the court in response to the jury’s note was not error (cf., People v Gaines, 74 NY2d 358; People v Jones, 184 AD2d 383; People v Roberts, 162 AD2d 729, 732; People v Ferguson, 158 AD2d 712, 713).
The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Santucci, J. P., Altman, Friedmann and McGinity, JJ., concur,
