Atencio

A jury found defendant Angelo Atencio, Jr., guilty of two felonies—grand of a and firearm possession by a felon. The trial court found defendant had a prior serious felony conviction and a prior strike *1241 and had served a prior prison sentence. The court sentenced defendant to an aggregate prison term of 12 years four months.

On appeal, defendant contends his sentence for the unlawful firearm possession conviction must be stayed pursuant to Penal Code 1 section 654 because his two offenses were incidental to only “one criminal intent and objective, namely to possess the [firearm].” In the alternative, he argues the trial court abused its discretion by imposing consecutive sentences after finding that his two offenses were predominantly independent of one another.

We conclude defendant is correct on his first point: his sentence for the unlawful firearm possession conviction must be stayed pursuant to section 654. Accordingly, we will modify defendant’s sentence and affirm the judgment as modified.
