1Opinion of the Court
*481FERREN, Senior Judge:
Dewand Sutton appeals his convictions for carjacking while armed,1 receiving stolen property (RSP),2 and unauthorized use of a vehicle (UUV).3 He argues that the evidence of armed carjacking was insufficient for conviction; that also as to armed carjacking, the jury instruction on aiding and abetting was reversible error; and that the RSP and UUV convictions merge. We reject the sufficiency claim, find no plain error in the aiding and abetting instruction, and conclude that the RSP and UUV convictions do not merge. Accordingly, we affirm.
