The following excerpt is from The People v. Groce, D055456, No. SCD195250 (Cal. App. 2010):
We conclude Groce can sustain only one section 470 forgery conviction for each check that he fraudulently signed and cashed. Accordingly, we reverse and vacate his convictions on counts 6 and 10 ( 470(a) violations), and let stand his convictions on counts 7 and 11 ( 470(d) violations). (People v. Ryan, supra, 138 Cal.App.4th at p. 371.) Because the sentences on counts 6 and 10 were ordered stayed or to run concurrently, there is no need to remand for resentencing.
