                     Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;

                   ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Jeremy Kelly Hoyle pled guilty to robbery. Idaho Code §§ 18-6501, 18-6503, 18-112A.
The district court sentenced Hoyle to a unified sentence of ten years with two years determinate.
Hoyle filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion for a reduction of sentence, which the district
court denied. Hoyle appeals asserting that the district court abused its discretion by executing his
sentence and declining to grant him probation in light of the additional information he presented
with this Rule 35 motion.
       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. Gill, 150 Idaho 183, 186, 244 P.3d 1269, 1272 (Ct. App. 2010). In

                                                 1
presenting a Rule 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 Hoyle’s Rule 35 motion, we conclude no
abuse of discretion has been shown. Therefore, the district court’s order denying Hoyle’s Rule
35 motion is affirmed.
