The following excerpt is from The People v. Torres, H034300, No. CC807808 (Cal. App. 2010):
However, where, as here, the court stays the sentence on one felony count under section 654, it may not use the stayed count in calculating the fine under the statutory formula. (People v. Le (2006) 136 Cal.App.4th 925, 934.)
