1Opinion of the Court

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Broomer, J.), rendered August 14, 1986, convicting him of attempted burglary in the second degree and criminal mischief in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
