OPINION OF THE COURT

MEMORANDUM.

The judgment of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

Petitioner, the operator of an adult "juice bar" in Latham, New York, contends that the admission charges and private dance performance fees it collects from patrons are exempt from state sales and use taxes. We agree with the Appellate Division that petitioner failed to meet its burden of proof that a tax exemption applies to those charges.
