                      Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; HUSKEY, Judge;

                   ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Bryce Cole Dixey Teton pled guilty to grand theft by receiving/possession of stolen
property, Idaho Code §§ 18-2403(4), 18-2407(1)(b)(1). The district court imposed a term of
eight years with two years determinate and retained jurisdiction. The district court subsequently
relinquished jurisdiction.
       Teton filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion for correction of an illegal sentence,
asserting that his sentence is illegal because the district court failed to order a mental health
evaluation by a neutral psychiatrist, and the face of the record showed that he had a serious
mental health condition. Teton also filed a motion to withdraw his guilty plea pursuant to

                                               1
I.C.R. 33(c). The district court denied Teton’s motions. The district court noted that Teton
underwent a mental health evaluation prior to sentencing, and that a second evaluation by a
“neutral psychiatrist” was not required. Moreover, the district court held that Teton’s challenge
was to the manner in which sentence was imposed and, therefore, untimely. The court also held
that it no longer had jurisdiction to adjudicate Teton’s Rule 33(c) motion. Teton appeals,
asserting that the district court abused its discretion by denying Teton’s I.C.R. 35(a) and 33(c)
motions.
       In State v. Clements, 148 Idaho 82, 87, 218 P.3d 1143, 1148 (2009), the Idaho Supreme
Court held that the term “illegal sentence” under Rule 35 is narrowly interpreted as a sentence
that is illegal from the face of the record, i.e., does not involve significant questions of fact or
require an evidentiary hearing. Rule 35 is a “narrow rule,” and because an illegal sentence may
be corrected at any time, the authority conferred by Rule 35 should be limited to uphold the
finality of judgments. State v. Farwell, 144 Idaho 732, 735, 170 P.3d 397, 400 (2007). Teton’s
sentence is not illegal from the face of the record. Moreover, as the district court held, Teton’s
claim is actually a challenge to the manner in which sentence was imposed. Consequently,
Teton’s motion was untimely under Rule 35(b).
       As to the Rule 33 motion, Teton’s judgment was entered on February 6, 2012. Teton did
not file a timely notice of appeal and the judgment became final on March 19, 2012. Teton filed
his motion to withdraw his guilty plea on August 7, 2017. In State v. Jakoski, 139 Idaho 352, 79
P.3d 711 (2003) the Idaho Supreme Court held that absent a statute or rule extending its
jurisdiction, the trial court’s jurisdiction to amend or set aside a judgment expires once the
judgment become final, either by expiration of the time for appeal or affirmance of the judgment
on appeal. Id. at 354, 79 P.3d at 713. The Court further stated that I.C.R. 33(c) does not include
any provision to extend the jurisdiction of the trial court for the purpose of hearing a motion to
withdraw a guilty plea. Jakoski, 139 Idaho at 355, 79 P.3d at 714. The district court correctly
determined that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the Rule 33 motion.
       The record supports the district court’s finding that Teton’s sentence is not illegal. The
record also supports the district court’s finding that it did not have jurisdiction to consider
Teton’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea. Therefore, the district court properly denied Teton’s
motions. Accordingly, we conclude no abuse of discretion has been shown and the district
court’s orders denying Teton’s Rule 35 motion and Rule 33 motion are affirmed.
