PER CURIAM
Peter Jeffrey Olson was found guilty of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, I.C. §§ 18-915(1) and 18-905(a), and use of a firearm during the commission of a felony, I.C. § 19-2520. The district court sentenced Olson to a unified term of ten years, with a minimum period of confinement of two years. The district court retained jurisdiction and sent Olson to participate in the rider program. Following successful completion of his rider, the district court suspended the sentence and placed Olson on probation. Olson appeals, asserting the underlying sentence is 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, Olson's judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
