PER CURIAM
       Amanda Ruth Klamm pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance. Idaho Code
§ 37-2732(c)(1). The district court imposed the sentence agreed upon by the parties: a unified
sentence of four years with two years determinate.        The district court then suspended the
sentence and placed Klamm on supervised probation for thirty months. Klamm appeals asserting
that the district court abused its discretion by imposing an excessive sentence.
       The doctrine of invited error applies to estop a party from asserting an error when his or
her own conduct induces the commission of the error. State v. Atkinson, 124 Idaho 816, 819, 864


                                                 1
P.2d 654, 657 (Ct. App. 1993). One may not complain of errors one has consented to or
acquiesced in. State v. Caudill, 109 Idaho 222, 226, 706 P.2d 456, 460 (1985); State v. Lee, 131
Idaho 600, 605, 961 P.2d 1203, 1208 (Ct. App. 1998). In short, invited errors are not reversible.
State v. Gittins, 129 Idaho 54, 58, 921 P.2d 754, 758 (Ct. App. 1996). This doctrine applies to
sentencing decisions as well as rulings made during trial. State v. Griffith, 110 Idaho 613, 614,
716 P.2d 1385, 1386 (Ct. App. 1986).
       Therefore, Klamm’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
