People v. Rickett
People v. Rickett
Opinion
OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
The trial court did not err as a matter of law in denying defendant’s request to charge criminal trespass in the second degree as a lesser-included offense of burglary in the second degree (see, Penal Law §§ 140.15, 140.25). Although criminal trespass in the second degree is a lesser-included offense of burglary in the second degree, there is no reasonable view of the evidence to support a finding that defendant committed the lesser offense but not the greater (see, People v Scarborough, 49 NY2d 364, 368). Defendant’s remaining arguments are unpreserved.
Chief Judge Kaye and Judges Bellacosa, Smith, Levine, Ciparick, Wesley and Rosenblatt concur.
Order affirmed in a memorandum.
