                       Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; LANSING, Judge;
                                  and MELANSON, Judge

PER CURIAM
       Amanda Gayle Durr pled guilty to possession of methamphetamine, I.C. § 37-2732(c)(1),
in Docket No. 38588. Durr also pled guilty to possession of methamphetamine, I.C. § 37-
2732(c)(1), and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, I.C. § 37-
2732(A)(1)(a), in Docket No. 38641. The district court sentenced Durr to concurrent unified
terms of seven years, with minimum periods of confinement of three and a half years. However,
the district court retained jurisdiction and allowed Durr the opportunity to participate in the rider
program. Thereafter, the district court relinquished jurisdiction. Durr filed I.C.R 35 motions for
reduction of her sentences, which the district court granted by reducing Durr’s sentences to
concurrent unified terms of seven years, with minimum periods of confinement of two and a half
years. Durr appeals.

                                                 1
       Initially, we note that a lower court’s decision to grant or deny a Rule 35 motion will not
be disturbed in the absence of an abuse of discretion. State v. Villarreal, 126 Idaho 277, 281,
882 P.2d 444, 448 (Ct. App. 1994). Both our standard of review and the factors to be considered
in evaluating the reasonableness of the sentence are well established. See State v. Hernandez,
121 Idaho 114, 822 P.2d 1011 (Ct. App. 1991); State v. Lopez, 106 Idaho 447, 680 P.2d 869 (Ct.
App. 1984); State v. Toohill, 103 Idaho 565, 650 P.2d 707 (Ct. App. 1982). Since the district
court later modified Durr’s sentences, pursuant to her Rule 35 motions, we will only review
Durr’s modified sentences for an abuse of discretion. See State v. McGonigal, 122 Idaho 939,
940-41, 842 P.2d 275, 276-77 (1992).
       Durr has the burden of showing a clear abuse of discretion on the part of the district court
in failing to further reduce the sentences on Durr’s Rule 35 motions. See State v. Cotton, 100
Idaho 573, 577, 602 P.2d 71, 75 (1979). Durr has failed to show such an abuse of discretion.
Accordingly, the orders of the district court granting Durr’s Rule 35 motions are affirmed.
