PER CURIAM
Harley R. Hernandez pleaded guilty to rape of a female under the age of sixteen and perpetrator is eighteen years of age or older, Idaho Code § 18-1601(1). The district court imposed a unified sentence of twelve and one-half years, with one and one-half years determinate. Hernandez filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion, which the district court denied. Hernandez appeals, contending that his sentence is excessive.
Hernandez does not appeal from the district court's denial of his Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion. --------
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, Hernandez's judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
