In a case involving multiple convictions subject to section 654 of the Criminal Code, can a stay of execution be issued under Rule 4.447?

The comment cites the decision in People v. Niles, supra, 227 Cal.App.2d 749 which approved use of the impose sentence but stay execution rule in a case involving multiple convictions subject to section 654. (Id. at p. 756.) As has been recently recognized, "[a] stay under rule 4.447 is not issued under ... section 654," but "it is analogous. In both situations, the stay has no express statutory basis. It is implied, so that a defendant who is subject to one of two alternative punishments will not be wrongly subjected to the other; if, however, one of the two punishments is invalidated, the defendant will still be subject to the remaining one." (People v. Lopez (2004) 119 Cal.App.4th 355, 365.)
