GRATTON, Judge
Dennis Jared Pickett pled guilty, pursuant to a binding Idaho Criminal Rule 11 agreement, to possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Idaho Code § 37-2732(a). In the agreement, Pickett stipulated to entry of a no-contact order. The district court imposed sentence and entered the no-contact order stipulated to by the parties. Mindful that he stipulated to the entry of the no-contact order, Pickett argues the district court abused its discretion in entering the order. Pickett contends that possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, the crime he pled guilty to, is not a crime enumerated in the no-contact order statute. Pickett's claim is barred by the invited error doctrine.
The doctrine of invited error applies 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 in. 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 Pickett stipulated to entry of the no-contact order, he may not complain that the district court abused its discretion in entering the order. Accordingly, entry of the no-contact order is affirmed.
