1Opinion of the Court

MACY, Justice.

This appeal is from a judgment and sentence filed following a jury trial in which appellant Phillip Tageant was found guilty of burglary in violation of § 6-3-301(a) and (b), W.S.1977.

We affirm.

Appellant sets out the following arguments:

1. “THE TRIAL COURT COMMITTED ERROR WHEN IT ADMITTED THE CO-DEFENDANT’S HEARSAY STATEMENT.”

2. “THE EVIDENCE AGAINST THE DEFENDANT WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO FIND HIM GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. THE TRIAL COURT COMMITTED ERROR BY NOT GRANTING THE APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR A JUDGMENT OF ACQUITTAL MADE AT THE END OF THE PROSECUTOR’S CASE-IN-CHIEF.”
