Eric D. Fredericksen, State Appellate Public Defender; Justin M. Curtis, Deputy Appellate Public Defender, Boise, for appellant.

Hon. Lawrence G. Wasden, Attorney General; Lori A. Fleming, Deputy Attorney General, Boise, for respondent. ________________________________________________ Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; LORELLO, Judge; and BRAILSFORD, Judge ________________________________________________ PER CURIAM Larry Michael Clifford, Jr., pled guilty to fraud by computer. Idaho Code § 18-2202(1).

The district court sentenced Clifford to a unified term of five years with two years determinate.

Clifford filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion for reduction of sentence, which the district court denied. Clifford appeals asserting that the district court abused its discretion by denying the 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. 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 Clifford’s Rule 35 motion, we conclude no abuse of discretion has been shown. Therefore, the district court’s order denying Clifford’s Rule 35 motion is affirmed.
