California Court of Appeal

A juvenile defendant's conviction for first degree burglary and grand theft of a firearm, based on the minor's act of taking guns from a closet located in a house into which he initially entered without the intention of committing a crime, is affirmed where: 1) entry into a closet in a residence constitutes entry into a room for the purposes of the burglary statute; and 2) the defendant burglarized an inhabited dwelling house as required for a finding of first degree burglary.
