PER CURIAM
Kevin Ryan Duran pled guilty to aggravated assault, I.C. §§ 18-901(b) and 18-905(a), enhanced for use of a deadly weapon, I.C. § 19-2520. In exchange for his guilty plea, additional charges were dismissed. The district court sentenced Duran to a unified term of twenty years, with a minimum period of confinement of ten years. Duran appeals, arguing 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, Duran's judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
