PER CURIAM
       David Andrew Larsen pled guilty to felony injury to a child. Idaho Code § 18-1501(1).
On February 22, 2016, the district court sentenced Larsen to a determinate term of ten years and
retained jurisdiction for one year.    On January 25, 2017, the district court extended its
jurisdiction by thirty days. On March 16, 2017, at the jurisdictional review hearing, the district
court relinquished jurisdiction. Larsen’s counsel made an oral Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion
requesting that the district court modify the sentence so it is not all a determinate term. The
district court granted the motion and reduced Larsen’s sentence to a unified term of ten years
with eight years determinate. Larsen filed a notice of appeal, but the appeal was later dismissed
pursuant to Larsen’s voluntary notice of dismissal.

                                                1
       On June 5, 2017, Larsen filed a second Rule 35 motion for a reduction of sentence. A
hearing was held on the motion, at which time Larsen’s counsel requested that the district court
place Larsen on probation. The district court denied the request for further reduction of sentence
as well as the request to place Larsen on probation. The district court did, however, enter an
order retaining jurisdiction. Several months later, the district court relinquished jurisdiction.
       Mindful that the district court did not have jurisdiction to place Larsen on the second
period of retained jurisdiction, and thus did not have jurisdiction to place him on probation at the
end of the second period of retained jurisdiction, Larsen contends that the district court abused its
discretion by not placing him on probation. The Idaho Supreme Court has held that “the plain
language of [Idaho Code] section 19-2601(4) unconditionally requires an intervening period of
probation prior to ordering an additional period of retained jurisdiction.” State v. Urrabazo, 150
Idaho 158, 162, 244 P.3d 1244, 1248 (2010) (abrogated on other grounds by Verska v. Saint
Alphonsus Reg’l Med. Ctr., 151 Idaho 889, 265 P.3d 502 (2011)). Since Larsen was not placed
on probation after the first period of retained jurisdiction, the district court lacked jurisdiction to
order the second period of retained jurisdiction, or to place Larsen on probation thereafter.
       The order of the district court relinquishing jurisdiction and Larsen’s sentence are
affirmed.
