Does section 954 of the California Criminal Code apply to a defendant who has pleaded guilty to assault involving a firearm?

Defendant next points to section 954, contending his plea agreement may have constituted an illegal sentence. He reasons that once he commits an assault involving a firearm, he has also committed an offense of possessing a gun as felon. And, he notes, multiple convictions for different statements of the same offense are not permitted. (See People v. Vidana (2016) 1 Cal.5th 632, 651 ["section 954 does not authorize multiple convictions for different statements of the same offense"].) We find no error.
