        "text": "OPINION\nWOOD, Chief Judge.\nConvicted of burglary and larceny, defendant appeals. Two contentions are answered summarily. The photographic identification procedure was not impermissibly suggestive under the totality of the circumstances. State v. Armstrong, 85 N.M. 234, 511 P.2d 560 (Ct.App.1973); State v. Jones, 83 N.M. 600, 495 P.2d 380 (Ct.App.1972). The refusal to give defendant\u2019s requested instruction on alibi was not error. The Use Note to U.J.I.Crim. 41.30 states that no instruction on the subject shall be given. See State v. Scott, 90 N.M. 256, 561 P.2d 1349 (Ct.App.1977); compare State v. Bell, 90 N.M. 134, 560 P.2d 925 (1977). The issue to be discussed concerns the structure that defendant burglarized; the specific issue is whether defendant burglarized a dwelling house.\nDefendant was convicted of burglary of a dwelling house, a third degree felony. Other burglary is a fourth degree felony. Section 40A-16-3, N.M.S.A.1953 (2d Repl.Vol. 6). U.J.I.Crim. 16.21 defines a dwelling house as \u201cany structure, any part of which is customarily used as living quarters.\u201d See State v. Hudson, 78 N.M. 228, 430 P.2d 386 (1967).\nDefendant made an unauthorized entry into the victim\u2019s garage and stole a power saw and some wrenches. The garage is part of the structure in which the victim lived; one wall of the garage is also a wall of one of the rooms of the residence. The garage has a back door which opens onto the patio and an overhead door which opens onto the driveway. However, there is no door between the garage and the interior of the residence. To enter the residence from the garage, one must go either onto the patio or the driveway.\nDefendant contends that an attached garage, with no opening to the house, is not a part of a dwelling house within the meaning of \u00a7 40A-16-3, supra. Because the garage \u201cdid not communicate directly\u201d he asserts it was as effectively separated from the house as the garages in People v. Picaroni, 131 Cal.App.2d 612, 281 P.2d 45 (1955) and Bean v. Commonwealth, 229 Ky. 400, 17 S.W.2d 262 (1929). In Picaroni, supra, the garage was a separate building, a cement walk led from the garage to the house. The garage in Bean, supra, was also a separate building at the rear of the lot.\nWe do not agree with defendant. U.J.I. Crim. 16.21 defines dwelling house as any structure, any part of which is customarily used as living quarters. Under this definition, and the facts in the case, burglary of the garage was burgla, y of the dwelling house because the garage was a part of the structure used as living quarters. See People v. Gargano, 10 Ill.App.3d 957, 295 N.E.2d 342 (1973).\nThe fact that there was no direct access to the interior of the house from the garage does not aid defendant. The garage was a part of the habitation; it was \u201cdirectly contiguous to and a functioning part\u201d of the residence. Burgett v. State, 161 Ind.App. 157, 314 N.E.2d 799 (1974). See also Bousman v. State, Ind.App., 338 N.E.2d 723 (1975); State v. Parker, 501 S.W.2d 3 (Mo. 1973); State v. Haas, 13 Or.App. 368, 510 P.2d 852 (1973), rev\u2019d on other grounds, 420 U.S. 714, 43 L.Ed.2d 570, 95 S.Ct. 1215 (1975). Defendant was properly convicted of burglary of a dwelling house.\nThe judgment and sentences are affirmed.\nIT IS SO ORDERED.\nHERNANDEZ and LOPEZ, JJ., concur.",
