PER CURIAM

Rachell L. Rudolph pled guilty to possession of methamphetamine, Idaho Code § 37-2732(c). Prior to sentencing, Rudolph was charged with committing additional crimes in violation of the plea agreement. The district court imposed a unified seven-year sentence with a one and one-half-year determinate term. Rudolph appeals, contending that her 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, Rudolph's judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
