PER CURIAM
Jacob Paul Raines pled guilty to one count of unlawful possession of a firearm, Idaho Code § 18-3316; one count of possession of methamphetamine, I.C. § 37-2732(c); and one count of misdemeanor domestic battery, I.C. §§ 18-903(a), 18-918(3). The district court imposed an indeterminate term of five years for unlawful possession of a firearm and a consecutive sentence of five years, with a minimum period of confinement of two years, for possession of methamphetamine. The sentence imposed for misdemeanor domestic battery was 223 days in jail, with 223 days' credit for time served. Raines appeals, contending that his unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of methamphetamine 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, Raines's judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
