                     Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; LORELLO, Judge;

                  ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Amber Rae Caldwell pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance. I.C. § 37-
2732(c). In exchange for her guilty plea, an additional charge was dismissed. The district court
sentenced Caldwell to a unified term of five years, with a minimum period of confinement of
two years, to run concurrent with an unrelated sentence. The district court, however, retained
jurisdiction and sent Caldwell to participate in the rider program.        Following successful




                                               1
completion of her rider, the district court suspended Caldwell’s sentence and placed her on
probation. Caldwell appeals, arguing that her underlying sentence is excessive. 1
       Although Caldwell received the sentence she asked for, Caldwell asserts that the district
court erred in imposing an excessive sentence. The doctrine of invited error applies to estop a
party from asserting an error when his or her own conduct induces the commission of the error.
State v. Atkinson, 124 Idaho 816, 819, 864 P.2d 654, 657 (Ct. App. 1993). One may not
complain of errors one has consented to or acquiesced in. State v. Caudill, 109 Idaho 222, 226,
706 P.2d 456, 460 (1985); State v. Lee, 131 Idaho 600, 605, 961 P.2d 1203, 1208 (Ct. App.
1998). In short, invited errors are not reversible. State v. Gittins, 129 Idaho 54, 58, 921 P.2d
754, 758 (Ct. App. 1996). This doctrine applies to sentencing decisions as well as rulings made
during trial. State v. Griffith, 110 Idaho 613, 614, 716 P.2d 1385, 1386 (Ct. App. 1986).
       Therefore, because Caldwell received the sentence she requested, she may not complain
that the district court abused its discretion. Accordingly, Caldwell’s judgment of conviction and
suspended unified sentence of five years, with a minimum period of confinement of two years,
for possession of a controlled substance is affirmed.

       Caldwell also pled guilty to and was sentenced for driving under the influence. However,
she does not challenge this judgment of conviction and sentence on appeal.
