Before HUSKEY Chief Judge; LORELLO, Judge; and BRAILSFORD, Judge.

PER CURIAM.

Tommy Dean Nash pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary, Idaho Code § 18-1401, and two counts of grand theft, I.C. §§ 18-2403(1), -2407(1)(b), -2409. On one count of burglary, the district court imposed a unified ten-year sentence, with three years determinate. On the second count of burglary, the district court imposed a five-year indeterminate sentence to run consecutively to the first count. On each count of grand theft, the district court imposed a fourteen-year indeterminate sentence to run concurrently to all other counts. Nash appeals, contending that his sentences are 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). Our role is limited to determining whether reasonable minds could reach the same conclusion as the district court. State v. Biggs, 168 Idaho 112, 116, 480 P.3d 150, 157 (Ct. App. 2020). Applying these standards, and having reviewed the record in this case, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion.

Therefore, Nash's judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
