KENNARD, J.

California law prohibits convicting a defendant of two offenses arising from a single criminal act when one is a lesser offense necessarily included in the other. Here, the Court of Appeal held that unlawful taking of a vehicle (Veh.Code, § 10851) is not a lesser included offense of carjacking (Pen.Code, § 215)1 and affirmed defendant's convictions of both offenses. We agree.
