OFFICE OF THE KOOTENAI COUNTY 2 eps ‘CHARLES B+ LEMPESTS KOOTENAT COUNTY. PUBLI LC DEFENDER OF APPEAL IN Til COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF IDAHO p uaa No. 17410 STNTE OF IDAKO, Plaintif£-Respondent, 1989 Opinion No. CA-3 ve Filed: January 4, 1989 BRUCE MARCHANT, Frederick C. Lyon, Clerk Defendant-Appellant. Appeal from the District Court of the First Judicial bistrict of the State of Idaho, Kootenai County. Honorable Gary M. Haman, District Judge. Order denying motion for reduction of concurrent, indeterminate twenty-year sentences, affirmed. Charles B. Lempesis of Post Falls for appel- lant. Jim Jones, Attorney General; Peter C. Erbland, Deputy Attorney General; for respon— dent. SWANSTRON, J, Bruce Marchant appeals from a district court order denying his T.C.R. 35 motion for reduction of sentences. Marchant pled guilty to one count of robbery, I.C. $ 18-6591, and one count of assault with intent to commit a serious felony upon a law enforcement officer, I.C. §§ 18-901, -909, and -915. He was sentenced to two concurrent, indeterminate twenty-year terms. After serving approximately four months of his sentences Marchant sought unsuccessfully to have the sentences reduced. The sole issue on appeal is whether the district court abused its discre- tion in denying Marchant's motion, We affirm. When a Rule 35 motion seeks o reduction of sentence, it is entinlly a request for leniency, State v. Arambula, 97 I@aho G27, 650 P.2d 130 (1976). The motion is addressed to the sound seretion of the district court. State v. Roach, 112 Idaho 173, 730 P.2d 1093 (Ct. App. 1986). Onr task on appeal is to determine whether the facts presented in conjunction with the motion, when viewed in the context of information already in the record, show that discretion wus abused in failing to grant the leniency requested. State v. Stanfield, 112 rdaho 601, 733 P.2¢ 822 (Ct. App. 197). In making this determination, we apply the same criteria used for reviewing the reasonableness of the original sentence. As enunciated in State v. Toohill, 103 Idaho 565, 650 P.2d 707 (ct. App. 1982), this requires consideration of the nature of the offense and the character of the offender in light of the primary sentencing goals: protection of society, Geiersence, rehabilitation and retribution, In his case the sentences imposed by tie district court were within the statutory limits. See I.c, §§ 18-6501 and 18-915, We note that Marchant was sentenced prior to the adoption of the Unified Sentencing Act. 1.c, § 19-2513. For purpose of appellate review on the of confinement on an indeterminate sentence to be one-third of the facial length of the sentence, State v. Toohill, supra. tion, we regard the duration Thereftre, for our review of Marchant's concurrent twenty-year sentences, we deem the period of confinement to be six years, eight months, Marchant was involved in two related violent incidents. The first, a robbery, occurred when Marchant and another individual fhecatened the robbery victim with shotgun blasts directed over his head. The record is not conclusive but does suggest that it was the other individual with Marchant who discharged the jofgun. The second incident arose as result of Marchant's attempt to elude police after the robbery was reported. Narchant, trapped by police in a cul-de-sac, brandished the shotgun and fired in the direction of the police. Repeated requests to surrender went unheeded and Marchant, after threatening the police avin with the weapon, was shot and wounded. Phe presentence report indicates that Marchant had committed severai previous cffcnses, including arson and an armed robbery for which he was still on parole, The report presented psycho- logical evaluations which established that much of Marchant's behavior resulted from debilitating psychological disorders. Marchant had been prescribed medication which, if taken regularly, alleviated thes rs. However, at the time of the events pertinent here, Marchsnt had stopped using the disord: medication and had ro. erted ins hol use as means wad to heavy al of controlling his havior. The presentence investigator concluded that Marchant would not be a proper candidate for pro- bation due to the seriousness of his disorders and the violent nature of the offennws which he committed. The investigator Placed emphasis on Marchant's apparent inability to complete prior parole terms successfully or to assist in controlling his disorders and behavior. At the hearing on the Rule 35 motion Marchant presented re- ports and certificates which e¢ ablished that while imprisoned he had completsl a substance abuse program, received positive work evaluations, enrolled in academic programs and regularly received psychological counseling. After heariny argument from Marchant, the judge prietly reviewed the circumstances of the sentence, reiterating the seriousness of Marchant's crimes, his past record and unstabie personality. The judge concluded that Marchant would most likely pertorm well in an institutionalized setting and that incarceration was the best, means to satisfy the important concern of protecting society. The judge noted that Marchant was still not recognizing the need for a medication regimen to control his behavior. We believe the judge's concerns are well-supported by the record. Moreover, while post-incarceration behavior is a factor to be considered in reducing a sentence, it is not necessarily determinative. State v. Clayton, 112 Idato 1110, 739 P.2d 409 (Ct. App. 1987). ‘Phe information presented by Marchent at the Rule 35 hearing did little to lessen the court's concern over the dangers that Marchant posed when ut liberty. The sentences, being indeterminate and concurrent, adequately balance the goals of societal protection and individual rehabilitation, We conclude that the judge did not abuse his discretion in denying Narchant's Rule 35 motion. The order of the district court is affirmed.
