Fleming, Deputy Attorney General, Boise, for respondent. ______________________________________________ Before LANSING, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge; and MELANSON, Judge PER CURIAM Candice Nadine McCreath pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance. I.C. § 37- 2732(c). The district court sentenced McCreath to a unified term of seven years, with a minimum period of confinement of three years. The district court retained jurisdiction and sent McCreath to participate in the rider program. Following completion of her rider, McCreath was placed on probation. After violating her probation on several occasions, the district court revoked probation and ordered execution of the original sentence. McCreath filed an I.C.R 35 motion, which the district court denied. McCreath appeals. Idaho Criminal Rule 35 provides that a motion for reduction of sentence must be filed within fourteen days from the district court’s order revoking probation. McCreath acknowledges that her motion was not filed within fourteen days after the district court revoked her probation. 1 Therefore, McCreath’s Rule 35 motion was untimely, and the district court did not err in its denial. Accordingly, McCreath’s appeal from the district court’s order denying her Rule 35 motion is hereby affirmed. 2
