PER CURIAM
       Jon Roland-Ozzy Pounds pleaded guilty to lewd conduct with a child under sixteen,
Idaho Code § 18-1508. The district court imposed a twenty-year sentence, with ten years
determinate. Pounds filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion, which the district court denied.
Pounds appeals.
       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 an I.C.R. 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

                                                1
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 Pounds’s I.C.R. 35 motion, we conclude
no abuse of discretion has been shown. Therefore, the district court’s order denying Pounds’s
I.C.R. 35 motion is affirmed.
