Opinion

Scotland, J.

A jury convicted defendant Emanueal Duane Crittle of carjacking and robbery, and found he personally used a fireann in committing his crimes. Sentenced to an aggregate term of 13 years in state prison, he appeals.

In the published portions of this opinion, we conclude that (1) a $20 court security fee (Pen. Code, § 1465.8) must be imposed based on a conviction for which punishment has been stayed pursuant to Penal Code section 654, and (2) a $10 crime prevention fine (Pen. Code, § 1202.5, subd. (a)) can be imposed only once in a case, rather than for each conviction in a case. Defendant’s other contentions are addressed in the unpublished parts of the opinion. We shall modify the judgment and affirm as modified.
