LANSING, Judge.
Jonathan Scott Hites was charged with a single count of trafficking in marijuana in violation of Idaho Code § 37-2732B(a)(1). Thereafter, pursuant to plea negotiations, the State amended the information to charge Hites with possession of marijuana in excess of three ounces, I.C. § 37-2732(e), and Hites entered an Alford
Hites filed a motion seeking credit for time served pursuant to Idaho Criminal Rule 35. In that motion, Hites requested "credit for local, county, and state time served in conjunction with this charge." Hites did not specify any particular periods of incarceration for which he claimed credit. Nevertheless, the court responded by granting Hites 564 days of credit including "time spent in the custody of the Idaho State Board of Correction." Hites thereafter filed a second Rule 35 motion that was nearly identical to the first, and a motion requesting appointed counsel. Once again, Hites did not identify any periods of incarceration for which he felt he should be granted credit. The court denied the motion requesting the appointment of counsel and the motion for credit for time served.
Hites appeals the order denying his second motion. He argues that the court's denial of his motion was erroneous and "requests that this Court order that he be given credit for time served."
By terms of I.C. § 18-309 a defendant is entitled to credit on his or her sentence for time served prior to judgment.
Whether the trial court properly applied the law governing credit for time served is a question of law over which we exercise free review. State v. Vasquez, 142 Idaho 67, 68, 122 P.3d 1167, 1168 (Ct. App. 2005); State v. Brashier, 130 Idaho 112, 113, 937 P.2d 424, 425 (Ct. App. 1997). We defer to the trial court's findings of fact, however, unless those findings are unsupported by substantial and competent evidence in the record and are therefore clearly erroneous. State v. DuValt, 131 Idaho 550, 552-53, 961 P.2d 641, 643-44 (1998); State v. Davis, 139 Idaho 731, 734, 85 P.3d 1130, 1133 (Ct. App. 2003).
Here, Hites has shown no error. He requested credit for time served and was granted credit. His second motion did not identify any period of incarceration for which he had not already received credit. Accordingly, Hites provided the district court no basis to grant additional credit for time served. On appeal, Hites still does not identify the error, if any, the court made when calculating credit for time served. It is Hites's burden, as the appellant, to show how the district court erred. See State v. Gill, 150 Idaho 183, 186, 244 P.3d 1269, 1272 (Ct. App. 2010). Here, Hites has failed to meet this burden.
Because Hites failed to show error, the district court's order denying the second Rule 35 motion is affirmed.
