The following excerpt is from People v. Garcia, B272454 (Cal. App. 2017):

"'Whether a course of criminal conduct is divisible and therefore gives rise to more than one act within the meaning of section 654 depends on the intent and objective of the actor. . . .' [Citation.]" (People v. Britt (2004) 32

Cal.4th 944, 951-952.) "[I]f all of the offenses were merely incidental to, or were the means of accomplishing or facilitating one objective, defendant may be found to have harbored a single intent and therefore may be punished only once.
