Opinion
KENNARD, J.
A jury found defendant guilty of one count each of burglary (Pen. Code, § 459) and assault with intent to commit rape (Pen. Code, § 220). Found to be true was an allegation that defendant had suffered a prior conviction for burglary. Defendant, who was sentenced to state prison, appeals from the judgment of conviction. He contends (1) the victim’s in-field identification of him was impermissibly suggestive, and (2) an instruction on flight should not have been given. We affirm the judgment.
