The following excerpt is from People v. Collins, C083771 (Cal. App. 2018):
Defendant was sentenced to 25 years to life for his first degree murder conviction plus a consecutive 20-year term for the firearm enhancement and a 10-year consecutive sentence for the gang enhancement. Defendant appealed, and in an unpublished decision, this court held that the 10-year gang enhancement was improper and should be replaced with a 15-year minimum parole period and that defendant was entitled to 1,076 days of custody credit. (See People v. Collins (May 9, 2011, C062398) [nonpub. opn.].) Defendant was thus left with a sentence of 25 years to life, plus 20 years on the firearm enhancement under section 12022.53, subdivision (c), and three additional years on the determinate counts.
