PER CURIAM
Caleb Adam Henderson pled guilty to attempted strangulation, Idaho Code § 18-923(1). The district court imposed a unified nine-year sentence with a three-year determinate term and retained jurisdiction. Following the period of retained jurisdiction, the district court suspended the sentence and placed Henderson on probation. Henderson appeals, contending that his underlying 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, Henderson's judgment of conviction and suspended, underlying sentence are affirmed.
