PER CURIAM

Ryan Scott Fisk pled guilty to operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s permission. Idaho Code §§ 49-227, 18-112. The district court sentenced Fisk to a unified term of five years with two and one-half years determinate. Fisk filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion, which the district court denied. Fisk appeals asserting that the district court abused its discretion by denying his 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 Fisk’s Rule 35 motion, we conclude no abuse of discretion has been shown. Therefore, the district court’s order denying Fisk’s Rule 35 motion is affirmed.
