PER CURIAM
David Everett Northrup pled guilty to felony domestic violence. I.C. §§ 18-903(a), 918(2), 918(4). In exchange for his guilty plea, an additional charge and sentencing enhancement were dismissed. The district court sentenced Northrup to a unified term of ten years, with a minimum period of confinement of four years. Northrup appeals.
Northrup also pled guilty to misdemeanor violation of a no-contact order. However this judgment of conviction and sentence are not challenged on appeal.
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, Northrup's judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
