OPINION
BUSTAMANTE, Judge.
1. The State’s appeal in this case presents a single issue: whether a valid out-of-state conviction for driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs (DWI) constitutes a prior conviction sufficient to enhance a sentence under the penalty enhancement provisions of the Motor Vehicle Code, NMSA 1978, §§ 66-1-1 to 66-8-140 [except 66-8-102.1] (Repl.Pamp.1994 & Supp. 1995) (the MVC), specifically the amended DWI statute, Section 66-8-102. For the reasons that follow, we find it does not and thus affirm the district court.
