Traynor, J.

Petitioners were convicted of kidnaping Linn Bayliss for the purpose of robbery, first degree, robbery of Bayliss,. and first degree robbery of Joseph Brody A The superior court imposed concurrent sentences. Petitioner Wright appealed, and the judgment against him was affirmed.. (People v. Wright (1963) 216 Cal.App.2d 866 [ 31 Cal.Rptr. 432 ].)

The opinion on Wright’s appeal ( 216 Cal.App.2d 866 ) reveals, however, that the kidnaping of Bayliss was part of an, indivisible course of conduct directed to the objective of robbing him. The Attorney General concedes that under Penal Code section 654 1 petitioners cannot be punished for both the kidnaping and the robbery of Bayliss (In re Ward (1966) 64 Cal.2d 672, 677 [ 51 Cal.Rptr. 272 , 414 P.2d 400 ]; In re Ponce (1966) ante, pp. 341, 342-343 [ 54…
