PER CURIAM
Shon Ronald Radcliff was found guilty of felony operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Idaho Code §§ 18-8004, 18-8005(6). The district court sentenced Radcliff to a unified term of seven years, with two years determinate. After a period of retained jurisdiction, the district court suspended the sentence and placed Radcliff on probation for seven years. Radcliff appeals contending the length of his probation 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, the district court's order suspending sentence after retained jurisdiction and order of probation for seven years is affirmed.
