THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. STEVEN A. HOWINGTON, Appellant.

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends that his convictions of burglary in the second degree (see, Penal Law § 140.25) and petit larceny (see, Penal Law § 155.25) are not supported by legally sufficient evidence. We disagree. Reviewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620) and bearing in mind that credibility is a matter to be resolved by the trier of the facts (see, People v. Kennedy, 47 N.Y.2d 196, 204), we conclude that, in this circumstantial evidence case, the determination of defendant's guilt is consistent with and flows naturally from the proven facts, and that those facts viewed as a whole exclude to a moral certainty every reasonable hypothesis other than guilt (see, People v. Kennedy, supra, at 202; People v. Cleague, 22 N.Y.2d 363, 365-366).
