Can a defendant be convicted of a burglary and then convicted of receiving stolen property?

Appellant further asks, "How is it lawful for a defendant to be found guilty of a burglary, and at the same time be found guilty of receiving stolen property, wouldn't it be one or the other"? That's a reasonable question. But because receiving stolen property is not a lesser included offense of burglary, a defendant may be properly convicted of both offenses. (People v. Allen (1999) 21 Cal.4th 846, 862-863.) While dual punishment for these crimes is not permissible, the trial court correctly stayed appellant's sentence for receiving stolen property pursuant to the terms of Penal Code section 654.
