PER CURIAM
Amelia Nohemi Islas-Campos pled guilty to one count of battery on a law enforcement
officer, Idaho Code § 18-915(3). In exchange for her guilty plea, additional charges were
dismissed. The district court imposed a unified term of five years with three years determinate,
to be served concurrently with a sentence in an unrelated case, and retained jurisdiction.
Following the period of retained jurisdiction, the district court suspended the sentence and placed
Islas-Campos on probation. Subsequently, Islas-Campos admitted to violating the terms of the
probation, and the district court consequently revoked probation, ordered execution of the
original sentence, and retained jurisdiction for a second time.

1
Following the second period of retained jurisdiction, the district court again placed Islas-
Campos on probation. Islas-Campos admitting to violating the terms of the probation for the
second time; thereafter, the district court revoked Islas-Campos’s probation. Islas-Campos
appeals, contending that the district court abused its discretion by revoking probation without
modifying the underlying sentence to a unified term of five years with two years determinate.
The court may, after a probation violation has been established, order that the suspended
sentence be executed or, in the alternative, the court is authorized under I.C.R. 35 to reduce the
sentence. Beckett, 122 Idaho at 325, 834 P.2d at 327; State v. Marks, 116 Idaho 976, 977, 783
P.2d 315, 316 (Ct. App. 1989). The court may also order a period of retained jurisdiction.
I.C. § 19-2601(4).
When we review a sentence that is ordered into execution following a period of
probation, we will examine the entire record encompassing events before and after the original
judgment. State v. Hanington, 148 Idaho 26, 29, 218 P.3d 5, 8 (Ct. App. 2009). We base our
review upon the facts existing when the sentence was imposed as well as events occurring
between the original sentencing and the revocation of probation. Id. Thus, this Court will
consider the elements of the record before the trial court that are properly made part of the record
on appeal. Morgan, 153 Idaho at 621, 288 P.3d at 838.
Applying the foregoing standards, and having reviewed the record in this case, we cannot
say that the district court abused its discretion by, upon revocation of probation, ordering
execution of Islas-Campos’s sentence without modification. Therefore, the order revoking
probation and directing execution of Islas-Campos’s previously suspended sentence is affirmed.
