DAVIDSON, Judge.

¶1Appellant waived a jury and pleaded guilty to the offense of burglary of a private residence at night.

¶3Testifying as a witness in his own behalf, appellant admitted the burglary.

¶4Such admission, together with the other testimony offered by the state, was sufficient to sustain the plea of guilty before the court.

¶5The judgment is affirmed.
