PER CURIAM
       Jesse Ryan Rogstad was convicted of malicious injury to or destruction of a jail, Idaho
Code § 18-7018, with a persistent violator sentencing enhancement, I.C. § 19-2514. The district
court sentenced Rogstad to a unified term of ten years with three years determinate, suspended
the sentence, and placed Rogstad on probation for a period of three years. Rogstad subsequently
admitted to violating the terms of the probation. At the probation violation hearing, Rogstad, in
an oral Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion, requested that the district court reduce this sentence.
The district court denied Rogstad’s oral Rule 35 motion, revoked Rogstad’s probation, and
executed the underlying sentence. Rogstad appeals asserting that the district court abused its
discretion by denying his Rule 35 motion.

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