Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Cerro Gordo County, Rustin T. Davenport, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Ahlers, JJ.  Opinion by Tabor, J.  (10 pages)

            Jacob Schmitt appeals his conviction for third-degree burglary.  He claims the State offered insufficient proof that he did not have permission or authority to enter his friend’s private bedroom or remain in the house.  OPINION HOLDS: Because substantial evidence supports the verdict on both the “entering” and “remaining-over” alternatives, we affirm his conviction.
