PER CURIAM

Ramon Larios-Mendoza pleaded guilty to rape, Idaho Code § 18-6101(1), and lewd conduct with a minor under sixteen, I.C. § 18-1508. For each charge, the district court imposed a unified life sentence, with twenty years determinate, to run concurrently. Larios-Mendoza 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). Applying these standards, and having reviewed the record in this case, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion.

Therefore, Larios-Mendoza's judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
