PER CURIAM
In cases consolidated for appeal, Sara Marie Laub pled guilty to one count of accessory to aggravated battery, Idaho Code § 18-205, in each case. The district court imposed a unified sentence of five years with four years determinate in the first case and a consecutive sentence of five years indeterminate in the second case. Laub appeals, contending that her 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 records in these cases, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion. Therefore, Laub's judgments of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
