1Opinion of the Court

ROBERTS, Justice.

Thomas Austin appeals his convictions in the Superior Court, Cumberland County, upon jury verdicts of guilty of burglary, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 401, and theft, 17-A M.R. S.A. § 353. Austin challenges, inter alia, the denial of his motion to suppress evidence, the admission of certain photographs despite an alleged discovery violation, the jury instructions relating to the presumption of guilt arising from exclusive possession of recently stolen property, and the sufficiency of the evidence to support his convictions. We affirm the judgments.
