PER CURIAM
       In Docket No. 44679, Miranda G. Hardy pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of
alcohol and/or drugs, a repeated offense, Idaho Code §§ 18-8004 and 18-5005(5). The district
court imposed a unified seven-year sentence, with three years determinate, and retained
jurisdiction. After completion of her period of retained jurisdiction, the district court suspended
the underlying sentence and placed Hardy on probation. Subsequently, Hardy admitted to
violating the terms of probation, and the district court again retained jurisdiction. Following her
second period of retained jurisdiction, the district court suspended the sentence and placed Hardy
on a term of probation. Subsequently, Hardy admitted to violating the terms of her probation
which included Hardy committing new criminal charges in Docket No. 44680.

                                                1
       In 44680, Hardy pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, a
repeated offense, I.C. §§ 18-8004, 18-8005(9), and the district court imposed a unified seven-
year sentence, with two years determinate, to run concurrent with her sentence in 44679. In
both cases, Hardy filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion. Following a hearing, the district
court denied the I.C.R. 35 motions. In 44679. Hardy appeals contending that the district court
abused its discretion by denying her I.C.R. 35 motion. In 44680, Hardy appeals contending that
her sentence is excessive.
       Sentencing is a matter for the trial court’s discretion. Both our standard of review and the
factors to be considered in evaluating the reasonableness of the sentence are well established and
need not be repeated here. See State v. Hernandez, 121 Idaho 114, 117-18, 822 P.2d 1011, 1014-
15 (Ct. App. 1991); State v. Lopez, 106 Idaho 447, 449-51, 680 P.2d 869, 871-73 (Ct. App.
1984); State v. Toohill, 103 Idaho 565, 568, 650 P.2d 707, 710 (Ct. App. 1982). When reviewing
the length of a sentence, we consider the defendant’s entire sentence. State v. Oliver, 144 Idaho
722, 726, 170 P.3d 387, 391 (2007). Applying these standards, and having reviewed the record
in this case, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion.
       A motion for reduction of sentence under I.C.R. 35 is essentially a plea for leniency,
addressed to the sound discretion of the court. State v. Knighton, 143 Idaho 318, 319, 144 P.3d
23, 24 (2006); State v. Allbee, 115 Idaho 845, 846, 771 P.2d 66, 67 (Ct. App. 1989). In
presenting an I.C.R. 35 motion, the defendant must show that the sentence is excessive in light of
new or additional information subsequently provided to the district court in support of the
motion. State v. Huffman, 144 Idaho 201, 203, 159 P.3d 838, 840 (2007). Upon review of the
record, including any new information submitted with Hardy’s I.C.R. 35 motion, we conclude no
abuse of discretion has been shown.
       Therefore, the district court’s order denying Hardy’s I.C.R. 35 motion in 44679 is
affirmed, and Hardy’s judgment of conviction and sentence in 44680 are affirmed.
