¶35Per Curiam.

¶36[¶1] Deidra Berg appeals from a district court order for revocation of probation and amended criminal judgment sentencing her to two years of incarceration.  She argues the district court abused its discretion because its two-year sentence was unreasonable since she had already served time in prison.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4) and (7).  SeeState v. Wardner, 2006 ND 256, ¶ 11, 725 N.W.2d 215 (quoting Davis v. State, 2001 ND 85, ¶ 11, 625 N.W.2d 855 (“‘Under N.D.C.C. § 12.1-32-07(6), a trial court is authorized to resentence a defendant who violates a condition of probation to any sentence that was initially available . . . .’”)).  See alsoWardner at ¶ 27 (quoting State v. Ennis, 464 N.W.2d 378, 382 (N.D. 1990) (“[A]ppellate review of the sentence itself focuses only on whether the district court ‘acted within the limits prescribed by statute, or substantially relied on an impermissible factor.’”)).
