This is an appeal nunc pro tunc from the judgment of sentence entered by the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County after a jury convicted Appellant of robbery and burglary. Sentenced to two concurrent terms of five to ten years’ incarceration to be followed by five years’ probation, Appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence and the adequacy of the jury instruction. We affirm.

Appellant raises two issues for our review:

I. WAS THE EVIDENCE INSUFFICIENT TO FIND THE DEFENDANT [GUILTY] OF BURGLARY AND ROBBERY?

II. DID THE TRIAL COURT ERR IN NOT GIVING A CHARGE TO THE JURY THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS THE PERPETRATOR BY THE COMPLAINING WITNESS?
