                       Before GUTIERREZ, Judge; GRATTON, Judge;

PER CURIAM
       Brian Todd Dahlin pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance. Idaho Code § 37-
2732(c). The district court sentenced Dahlin to a unified term of seven years with four years
determinate, and retained jurisdiction. At the retained jurisdiction review hearing, Dahlin’s
counsel made an oral Rule 35 motion requesting that the district court reduce the sentence. The
district court relinquished jurisdiction, but granted Dahlin’s motion, in part, by reducing Dahlin’s
sentence to a unified term of seven years with three years determinate. Dahlin later filed a
written I.C.R. 35 motion, which the district court denied. Dahlin appeals asserting that the
district court abused its discretion by denying his written Rule 35 motion. The State contends
that the written Rule 35 motion was an impermissible successive motion.

                                                 1
       The district court did not have jurisdiction to entertain the second Rule 35 motion. State
v. Bottens, 137 Idaho 730, 52 P.3d 875 (Ct. App. 2002). Moreover, Dahlin submitted no new or
additional evidence in support of the motion, which is a Rule 35 requirement. State v. Huffman,
144 Idaho 201, 203, 159 P.3d 838, 840 (2007). Therefore, the district court’s order denying
Dahlin’s successive Rule 35 motion is affirmed.
