TURNER, P. J .
I concur in the majority opinion except for that portion of the disposition which dismisses the felonious grand theft conviction under count 3. Although defendant may not be convicted of grand theft person, the act of taking the purse was a petty theft, a lesser included offense of grand theft person. (People v. McElroy (1897) 116 Cal. 583, 584 [48 P. 718].) Therefore, I would reduce the offense to petty theft pursuant to Penal Code section 1260 and remand for resentencing on the misdemeanor count.
A petition for a rehearing was denied October 22, 1992, and respondent’s petition for review by the Supreme Court was denied December 30, 1992. Panelli, J., of the opinion that the petition should be granted.
