PER CURIAM

In these consolidated cases, Shaun P. Kelly pled guilty to delivery of a controlled substance with an infliction of great bodily injury enhancement and unlawful possession of a firearm. Idaho Code §§ 37-2732(a)(1)(A), 19-2520B, and 18-3316(1) (Docket No. 45563). Kelly also pled guilty to felony eluding a peace officer, I.C. § 49-1404(2) (Docket No. 45564). The district court sentenced Kelly to a unified term of life with twenty-five years determinate for delivery of a controlled substance, with the infliction of great bodily injury enhancement; a consecutive five-year determinate sentence for unlawful possession of a firearm; and a consecutive five-year determinate sentence for felony eluding a peace officer. Kelly appeals asserting that the district court abused its discretion by imposing excessive sentences.

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, Kelly's judgments of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
