P. v. Hernandez CA4/2
Defendant Raul Vega Hernandez appeals from the trial court’s imposition of consecutive sentences for unlawfully causing a fire of forest land (Pen. Code, § 452, subd. (c); unlabeled statutory references are to this code) and unlawful possession of an incendiary device (§ 453, subd. (a)). Hernandez argues that the offenses comprise a single indivisible course of criminal conduct for which he cannot be subject to multiple punishments pursuant to section 654, subdivision (a). He also argues, and the People concede, that section 1465.9, subdivision (a), which became effective July 1, 2021, mandates that the portion of the trial court’s order imposing a presentence probation report fee be vacated. Finding both arguments have merit, we reverse in part and remand for resentencing.
