2. “Defendant's chief semantic argument is that because subdivision (b) of section 2900.5 does not read ` exclusively attributable to proceedings' he should be granted the credit he seeks. He is in error. Although the word `exclusively' does not appear, it is clearly provided that credit is to be given `only where' custody is related to the `same conduct for which the defendant has been convicted.' The sensible inference is that a defendant is not to be given credit for time spent in custody if during the same period he is already serving a term of incarceration.”
