PER CURIAM

Tina Marie Langer pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance, felony, Idaho Code § 37-2732(c). The district court imposed a unified sentence of seven years, with two years determinate. Langer filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion, which the district court denied. Langer 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 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 Langer's I.C.R. 35 motion, we conclude no abuse of discretion has been shown. Therefore, the district court's order denying Langer's I.C.R. 35 motion is affirmed.
