PER CURIAM

Trista Lee Clayton pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. I.C. § 37-2732(a). In exchange for her guilty plea, additional charges were dismissed including an allegation that she was a persistent violator. The district court sentenced Clayton to a unified term of ten years, with a minimum period of confinement of three years. Clayton filed an I.C.R 35 motion, which the district court denied. Clayton appeals.

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, Clayton's judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
