PER CURIAM
       Travis Shane Mai pled guilty to felony driving under the influence, Idaho Code §§ 18-
8004, 18-8005(6).     The district court withheld judgment and placed Mai on probation.
Thereafter, Mai admitted to violating the terms of his probation. The district court consequently
revoked the withheld judgment and probation.         The district court entered a judgment of
conviction and sentenced Mai to a unified term of seven years, with a minimum period of
confinement of two years. The district court suspended the sentence and again placed Mai on
probation. Subsequently, Mai admitted to violating the terms of the probation, and the district
court revoked probation and ordered execution of Mai’s sentence. However, the district court


                                                1
retained jurisdiction and sent Mai to participate in the rider program. Mai appealed from the
district court’s order revoking probation, and this Court affirmed in an unpublished opinion.
State v. Mai, Docket No. 44217 (Ct. App. Jan. 13, 2017). Following the period of retained
jurisdiction, the district court once more suspended Mai’s sentence and placed him on probation.
Mai subsequently admitted to violating probation, and the district court revoked probation and
ordered execution of the underlying sentence. Mai appeals, contending that the district court
abused its discretion in revoking probation.
       It is within the trial court’s discretion to revoke probation if any of the terms and
conditions of the probation have been violated. I.C. §§ 19-2603, 20-222; State v. Beckett, 122
Idaho 324, 325, 834 P.2d 326, 327 (Ct. App. 1992); State v. Adams, 115 Idaho 1053, 1054, 772
P.2d 260, 261 (Ct. App. 1989); State v. Hass, 114 Idaho 554, 558, 758 P.2d 713, 717 (Ct. App.
1988). In determining whether to revoke probation a court must examine whether the probation
is achieving the goal of rehabilitation and consistent with the protection of society. State v.
Upton, 127 Idaho 274, 275, 899 P.2d 984, 985 (Ct. App. 1995); Beckett, 122 Idaho at 325, 834
P.2d at 327; Hass, 114 Idaho at 558, 758 P.2d at 717. The court may, after a probation violation
has been established, order that the suspended sentence be executed or, in the alternative, the
court is authorized under I.C.R. 35 to reduce the sentence. Beckett, 122 Idaho at 325, 834 P.2d at
327; State v. Marks, 116 Idaho 976, 977, 783 P.2d 315, 316 (Ct. App. 1989). The court may also
order a period of retained jurisdiction. I.C. § 19-2601. A decision to revoke probation will be
disturbed on appeal only upon a showing that the trial court abused its discretion. Beckett, 122
Idaho at 325, 834 P.2d at 327. In reviewing the propriety of a probation revocation, the focus of
the inquiry is the conduct underlying the trial court’s decision to revoke probation. State v.
Morgan, 153 Idaho 618, 621, 288 P.3d 835, 838 (Ct. App. 2012). Thus, this Court will consider
the elements of the record before the trial court relevant to the revocation of probation issues
which are properly made part of the record on appeal. Id.
       Applying the foregoing standards, and having reviewed the record in this case, we cannot
say that the district court abused its discretion either in revoking probation or in ordering
execution of Mai’s sentence without modification. Therefore, the order revoking probation and
directing execution of Mai’s previously suspended sentence is affirmed.
