Sara B. Thomas, State Appellate Public Defender; Ben P. McGreevy, Deputy Appellate Public Defender, Boise, for appellant.
Hon. Lawrence G. Wasden, Attorney General; Lori A. Fleming, Deputy Attorney General, Boise, for respondent. ________________________________________________ Before GUTIERREZ, Chief Judge; LANSING, Judge; and MELANSON, Judge PER CURIAM Taylor Hampton Burgess pleaded guilty to delivery of marijuana, Idaho Code § 37- 2732(a), and the district court imposed a unified five-year sentence with a two-year determinate term and retained jurisdiction. Following the period of retained jurisdiction, the district court suspended the sentence and placed Burgess on supervised probation for five years. A report of probation violation was filed and the district court reinstated Burgess on probation. This probation was subsequently revoked and the suspended sentence ordered into execution. On appeal, Burgess does not challenge the district court’s decision to revoke probation, but argues
only that the district court abused its discretion by failing to sua sponte reduce his sentence upon revocation.
Our decision in State v. Clontz, 156 Idaho 787, 792, 331 P.3d 529, 534 (Ct. App. 2014), forecloses a claim that a district court erred by failing to sua sponte reduce an underlying sentence upon revoking probation. Therefore, we will not further address the claim. The order revoking probation and directing execution of Burgess’s previously suspended sentence is affirmed.
