PER CURIAM
       Deborah Ann Fairchild pled guilty to burglary (Idaho Code § 18-1401) and the district
court withheld judgment and placed Fairchild on probation for four years. As a condition of
probation, the district court ordered that Fairchild “make every effort to obtain and maintain full
time employment or be enrolled in a full time educational program,” subject to her probation
officer’s discretion. Fairchild argues, for the first time on appeal, that the district court erred
when it ordered that her probation officer would have discretion over whether she worked full-
time or attended school full-time. Fairchild’s claim is not properly before this Court because she
specifically accepted this condition of probation, without objection, in open court. See State v.
Leach, 135 Idaho 525, 530, 20 P.3d 709, 714 (Ct. App. 2001). In addition, Fairchild never

                                                1
moved for a modification of this condition of probation below 1 and the trial court’s imposition of
this condition of probation does not constitute fundamental error. The district court’s order
withholding judgment is affirmed.

221.
