PER CURIAM
       Steven Gilbert Korell pled guilty to felony driving under the influence. Idaho Code
§§ 18-8004, 18-8005(6), 18-8008. The district court sentenced Korell to a unified term of ten
years with two years determinate, suspended the sentence, and placed Korell on supervised
probation for five years with the condition that he apply to a problem solving court.
Approximately one year later, Korell admitted to violating the terms of his probation. The
district court continued his supervised probation on the condition that he complete the Wood
Pilot Project Court. Korell’s probation officer filed a second report of violation and Korell
subsequently absconded supervision. Korell was later arrested and he admitted to violating the



                                              1
terms of his probation. The district court revoked his probation, ordered the underlying sentence
executed, and retained jurisdiction. Korell filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion for reduction
of sentence, which was denied by the district court. Following the period of retained jurisdiction,
the district court suspended Korell’s sentence and again placed him on supervised probation for a
period of four years. Korell appeals, “mindful of the fact he is currently on probation,” asserting
that the district court abused its discretion by not sua sponte reducing his sentence upon
revocation of his probation.
       It is within the trial court’s discretion to revoke probation if any of the terms and
conditions of the probation have been violated. I.C. §§ 19-2603, 20-222; State v. Beckett, 122
Idaho 324, 325, 834 P.2d 326, 327 (Ct. App. 1992); State v. Adams, 115 Idaho 1053, 1054, 772
P.2d 260, 261 (Ct. App. 1989); State v. Hass, 114 Idaho 554, 558, 758 P.2d 713, 717 (Ct. App.
1988). In determining whether to revoke probation, a court must examine whether the probation
is achieving the goal of rehabilitation and consistent with the protection of society. State v.
Upton, 127 Idaho 274, 275, 899 P.2d 984, 985 (Ct. App. 1995); Beckett, 122 Idaho at 325, 834
P.2d at 327; Hass, 114 Idaho at 558, 758 P.2d at 717. The court may, after a probation violation
has been established, order that the suspended sentence be executed or, in the alternative, the
court is authorized under Idaho Criminal Rule 35 to reduce the sentence. Beckett, 122 Idaho at
325, 834 P.2d at 327; State v. Marks, 116 Idaho 976, 977, 783 P.2d 315, 316 (Ct. App. 1989).
The court may also order a period of retained jurisdiction. State v. Urrabazo, 150 Idaho 158,
162, 244 P.3d 1244, 1248 (2010). A decision to revoke probation will be disturbed on appeal
only upon a showing that the trial court abused its discretion. Beckett, 122 Idaho at 325, 834
P.2d at 327. In reviewing the propriety of a probation revocation, the focus of the inquiry is the
conduct underlying the trial court’s decision to revoke probation. State v. Morgan, 153 Idaho
618, 621, 288 P.3d 835, 838 (Ct. App. 2012). Thus, this Court will consider the elements of the
record before the trial court relevant to the revocation of probation issues which are properly
made part of the record on appeal. Id.
       Sentencing is also a matter for the trial court’s discretion. Both our standard of review
and the factors to be considered in evaluating the reasonableness of a 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).


                                                2
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).
       When we review a sentence that is ordered into execution following a period of
probation, we will examine the entire record encompassing events before and after the original
judgment. State v. Hanington, 148 Idaho 26, 29, 218 P.3d 5, 8 (Ct. App. 2009). We base our
review upon the facts existing when the sentence was imposed as well as events occurring
between the original sentencing and the revocation of the probation. Id. Thus, this Court will
consider the elements of the record before the trial court that are properly made part of the record
on appeal and are relevant to the defendant’s contention that the trial court should have reduced
the sentence sua sponte upon revocation of probation. Morgan, 153 Idaho at 621, 288 P.3d at
838.
       Applying the foregoing standards, and assuming Korell can challenge the district court’s
failure to sua sponte reduce his sentence, we cannot say that the district court abused its
discretion either in revoking probation or in ordering execution of Korell’s original sentence
without modification.    Therefore, the order revoking probation and directing execution of
Korell’s sentence, suspended upon subsequent grant of probation, is affirmed.
