PER CURIAM

Jesse Jones pled guilty to robbery, Idaho Code § 18-6501; battery with intent to commit a serious felony, I.C. §§ 18-903, 18-911; domestic assault, I.C. §§ 18-903, 18-918(3)(a); and misdemeanor obstructing an officer, I.C. § 18-705. In exchange for his guilty pleas, additional charges were dismissed. The district court imposed concurrent, unified sentences of seven years with four years determinate for robbery and battery with intent to commit a serious felony and gave Jones credit for time served for domestic assault and misdemeanor obstructing an officer. Jones 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, 154 (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, Jones's judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
