Kafka v. State
South Dakota Supreme Court · Decided May 7, 1980
292 N.W.2d 108; 1980 S.D. LEXIS 301 (North Western Reporter, Second Series)

Kafka v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

In this appeal from the dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief, Albert Kafka attacks the constitutionality of two jury instructions used in his trial for third-degree burglary.* The instructions that he complains of are identical to those decided today # 12704, Rauscher v. State, 292 N.W.2d 106 (S.D. 1980). Like Rauscher, Kafka did not object to the instructions at any time prior to the post-conviction proceedings. For the reasons set out in Rauscher, supra, the order of the trial court is affirmed.
