Head Matter:
PEOPLE v. DUGGER
1. Criminal Law — Evidence—Proof op Intent.
The people have made the required showing of wrongful intent in a criminal case if the record discloses facts and circumstances from which intent can readily be inferred.
2. Same — Lesser. Included Offenses — Instructions to Jury.
It is not reversible error for the trial court to fail to instruct the jury on lesser included offenses when no request for such an instruction was made at trial.
3. Same — Due Process — Eight to Assistance of Counsel — Ineffective Counsel.
Belief from conviction on the ground of ineffective counsel will not be granted unless the record clearly substantiates such contention.

Laiorence R. Ternan, for defendant on appeal.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Defendant's jury trial on a charge of breaking and entering a building with intent to commit larceny, CL 1918, § 750.110, as amended by PA 1961, No 133 (Stat Ann 1968 Cum Supp § 28.305), resulted in his conviction. He was sentenced and he appeals.
Defendant's first assertion of error is that the required intent was not proved. A review of the record discloses facts and circumstances from which the intent could readily be inferred. This is sufficient. People v. Griffin (1889), 77 Mich 585.
Defendant next contends that the failure of the trial court to instruct on the lesser included offense of breaking and entering without permission was reversible error. No request for such an instruction was made, and no error is shown. People v. Thomas (1965), 1 Mich App 444.
Finally, defendant says he is entitled to a new trial because he did not have effective assistance from his appointed counsel. The record does not meet the test of Williams v. Beto (1965), 351 F2d 698, 704, for granting the requested relief on this basis.
Affirmed.
McGregor, P. J., and Quinn and Letts, JJ., concurred.
