The following excerpt is from People v. Williams, No. E047113 (Cal. App. 4/8/2010), No. E047113. (Cal. App. 2010):

Penal Code section 1170.1, subdivision (a), provides in part: "The principal term shall consist of the greatest term of imprisonment imposed by the court for any of the crimes, including any term imposed for applicable specific enhancements. The subordinate term for each consecutive offense shall consist of one-third of the middle term of imprisonment prescribed for each other felony conviction for which a consecutive term of imprisonment is imposed, and shall include one-third of the term imposed for any specific enhancements applicable to those subordinate offenses." Penal Code section 12022.53 enhancements are "specific enhancements" for the purposes of Penal Code section 1170.1's one-third limitation. (Pen. Code, 1170.11; People v. Palacios (2007) 41 Cal.4th 720, 730 fn. 5.)
