INTRODUCTION

Defendant Charles Morris appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after a jury trial. The jury found defendant guilty of possession of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, § 11350, subd. (a)). The trial court found true the allegations defendant suffered four prior convictions for which he served prison terms (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)), and that he suffered two prior serious felony convictions (id., §§ 667, subds. (a), (b)-(i), 1170.12). Defendant was sentenced to state prison for a total term of 10 years. The sentence was composed of three years as the base term, doubled as a second strike pursuant to section 1170.12, subdivisions (a) through (d), of the Penal Code, plus four one-year enhancements pursuant to Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (b). On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of his 2007 conviction for violating section 11350, subdivision (a), of the Health and Safety Code to show intent, pursuant to Evidence Code section 1101, subdivision (b). We disagree and affirm the conviction.
