p. 958
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Ernest Munlin, Appellant.

— Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Vaughn, J.), rendered January 7,1980, convicting him of attempted burglary in the third degree and attempted petit larceny, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.

Judgment affirmed.

After reviewing the evidence presented at the suppression hearing, we are satisfied that defendant made a knowing and intelligent waiver of his Miranda rights and that the confession which ensued was voluntary, and not the product of coercion or duress (see People v Davis, 55 NY2d 731 ; People v Huntley, 15 NY2d 72 ). We further find that the evidence, including the admissions made by defendant, was legally sufficient to warrant the convictions (see People v Safian, 46 NY2d 181 , cert den sub nom. Miner v New York, 443 US 912 ; People v Talve, 73 AD2d 629 ; see, also, People v King, 61 NY2d 550 ). Lazer, J. P., Brown, Boyers and Eiber, JJ., concur.
