Is a defendant required to prove that he was convicted of a first degree burglary?

3 Defendant interchanges the question of the degree of the burglary conviction with the issue of whether the conviction was for a residential burglary. The prosecution was not required to prove that defendant had suffered a first degree burglary conviction, although proof of such fact in this case would have been sufficient. (People v. Cruz (1996) 13 Cal.4th 764, 784-785, 55 Cal.Rptr.2d 117, 919 P.2d 731.) A burglary offense is a serious felony under Penal Code section 1192.7, subdivision (c)(18) if it was for "burglary of an inhabited dwelling...." Proof of the degree of the offense is unnecessary.

4 Defendant made evidentiary objections below, but he does not pursue them on appeal.
