Robert G. Legakes, Public Defender, and Thomas D. Beatty, Deputy Public Defender, Clark County, for Appellant.

OPINION


Marshall, appellant-defendant, was tried before a jury and found guilty of burglary, a violation of NRS 205.060. Appellant asserts on appeal that there was insufficient evidence adduced at his trial to support his conviction. It is a long established rule of this court that upon appeal we must sustain a conviction if the record contains substantial evidence to support the conviction. We have reviewed the record and find therein substantial evidence to support the appellant's conviction and prove each and every element of the crime with which he was charged. Collins v. State, 87 Nev. 436, 488 P.2d 544 (1971); Graham v. State, 86 Nev. 290, 467 P.2d 1016 (1970); McGuire v. State, 86 Nev. 262, 468 P.2d 12 (1970); Cross v. State, 85 Nev. 580, 460 P.2d 151 (1969).

We have reviewed and considered the other assertion of error and find it to be without merit.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
