The following excerpt is from People v. Wells, F070212 (Cal. App. 2016):
Defendant contends People v. Flores (1979) 92 Cal.App.3d 461 (Flores) is instructive. Flores was convicted in 1966 for possession of marijuana, for which he served a prison term. (Id. at p. 470.) In 1977, he was convicted of selling heroin. (Id. at pp. 464-466.) His sentence for selling heroin was enhanced by one year under section 667.5, based on his 1966 conviction. (Flores, at p. 470.)
