PER CURIAM
In docket number 44260, Theron Patrick Charley was found guilty of domestic violence.
Idaho Code § 18-918(2). In January 2008, the district court sentenced Charley to a unified term
of ten years with five years determinate, suspended the sentence, and placed Charley on
supervised probation for a period of three years. In July 2008, Charley violated his probation by
absconding supervision. Approximately two years later, Charley was located and arrested.
Charley admitted to violating his probation and the district court revoked his probation, ordered
the underlying sentence executed, and retained jurisdiction. Following the period of retained
jurisdiction, the district court suspended Charley’s sentence and again placed him on supervised
probation. In January 2012, Charley was arrested in Arizona and was charged with violating his
1
probation. In November 2014, Charley admitted to violating his probation and the district court
reinstated him on supervised probation for a period of three years.
In September 2015, the State charged Charley with felony driving under the influence in
docket number 44261, I.C. §§ 18-8004, 18-8005(6). Charley was charged with violation of his
probation in docket number 44260. Charley subsequently admitted the allegations in docket
number 44260 and pled guilty to felony driving under the influence in docket number 44261. In
November 2015 the district court revoked Charley’s probation and order the underlying sentence
executed in docket number 44260 and imposed a concurrent unified sentence of ten years with
three years determinate in docket number 44261.
On May 9, 2016, Charley filed Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion for reduction of sentence
in docket number 44260, and on May 11, 2016, he filed an I.C.R. 35 motion for reduction of
sentence in docket number 44261. The district court denied both motions. Charley appeals
asserting that the district court abused its discretion by denying his Rule 35 motions.
An I.C.R. 35 motion must be filed within 120 days of the entry of the judgment.
I.C.R. 35(b). The 120-day filing limit is jurisdictional and deprives the district court of authority
to entertain an untimely motion. State v. Fox, 122 Idaho 550, 552, 835 P.2d 1361, 1363 (Ct.
App. 1992). Charley’s Rule 35 motions were not timely filed. Therefore, the district court’s
orders denying Charley’s Rule 35 motions are affirmed.
