________________________________________________ PER CURIAM Michael J. McNearney, Jr. pleaded guilty to two counts of grand theft by deception,

I daho Code 18

- 2407(1)(b)(3), and entered an Alford 1 plea to one count of rape, I.C. 18

- 6101(4). McNearney entered into an Idaho Criminal Rule 11(f)(1)(B) binding plea agre ement wherein McNearney would plead guilty to two counts of grand theft by deception and enter an Alford plea to one count of rape
, and McNearney agree d to pay restitution on all other counts. In exchange, the State dismissed the remaining charges and agr eed not to file any addition charges related to the discovery materials. Further, the parties agreed to recommend concurrent, unified

seven

- year sentences, with three years indeterminate, for each count if McNearney was reported a high risk to reoffend in the psychos exual evaluation . If McNearney was reported a moderate to

low risk to reoffend in the psychosexual evaluation, the parties would each recommend the district court retain jurisdiction and each party was free to argue the underlying sentence.

M cNearney was reported a high risk to reoffend in the psychosexual evaluation and, pursuant to the plea agreement, the district court imposed concurrent, unified seven

- year sentences, with three years determinate for each count

. McNearney appeals contending his sentences are
excessive.

Mindful that McNearney received the sentence agreed to pursuant to the plea agreement
, McNearney asserts the district court erred by imposing an excessive sentence . The doctrine of

invited error a pplies 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 P.2d 654, 657 (Ct. App. 1993). One may not complain of errors one has consented to or acquiesced i n. 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, because McNearney received the sentence ag reed upon pursuant to the I.C.R. 11 p lea agreement
, McNearney may not complain that the district court abused its discretion. Therefore, McNearney’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
