A. Glen Steedley, Jr., Atlanta, for appellant.
Lewis R. Slaton, Dist. Atty., Joseph J. Drolet, Donald J. Stein, Asst. Dist. Attys., Atlanta, for appellee.
Defendant was convicted of burglary. He enumerates errors concerning the charge to the jury. Held:
1. A charge to the jury in which the defendant's contentions are outlined is not error under our recent holding in Moran v. State, 139 Ga.App. 274, 228 S.E.2d 216 and wherein we overruled Graham v. State, 135 Ga.App. 825, 219 S.E.2d 477, and other cases.
2. The defendant made no written request to charge on the lesser offense of criminal trespass. In the absence of a written request, a failure to charge on a lesser offense is not error. State v. Stonaker, 236 Ga. 1, 222 S.E.2d 354.
Judgment affirmed.
