PER CURIAM
Dontavian Eiland pled guilty to felony driving under the influence of alcohol, Idaho Code §§ 18-8004, 18-8005. In exchange for his guilty plea, additional charges were dismissed. The district court imposed a unified sentence of six years, with a minimum period of confinement of three years. Eiland filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion for reduction of sentence, which the district court denied. Eiland appeals, contending that his sentence is excessive.
Sentencing is a matter for the trial court's discretion. Both our standard of review and the factors to be considered in evaluating the reasonableness of the sentence are well established and need not be repeated here. See State v. Hernandez, 121 Idaho 114, 117-18, 822 P.2d 1011, 1014-15 (Ct. App. 1991); State v. Lopez, 106 Idaho 447, 449-51, 680 P.2d 869, 871-73 (Ct. App. 1984); State v. Toohill, 103 Idaho 565, 568, 650 P.2d 707, 710 (Ct. App. 1982). When reviewing the length of a sentence, we consider the defendant's entire sentence. State v. Oliver, 144 Idaho 722, 726, 170 P.3d 387, 391 (2007). Applying these standards, and having reviewed the record in this case, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion.
Therefore, Eiland's judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
