                     Before MELANSON, Chief Judge; LANSING, Judge;

                   ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Juan Francisco Crispin pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance. I.C. § 37-
2732(c)(1). in exchange for his guilty plea, an additional charge that he was a persistent violator
was dismissed. The district court sentenced Crispin to a unified term of five years, with a
minimum period of confinement of two years. Crispin filed an I.C.R 35 motion, which the
district court denied. Crispin appeals.
       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

                                                 1
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, Crispin’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
