                      Before GRATTON, Chief Judge, LANSING, Judge

PER CURIAM

       Sean Jeffery Hunt was convicted of two counts of forgery, Idaho Code § 18-3601. The
district court imposed unified sentences of seven years, with minimum periods of confinement of
two years on each count, and ordered that the sentences would run concurrently with each other
and with a separate case in Bonneville County. Hunt appeals, contending that the 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 a sentence are well established and
need not be repeated here. See State v. Hernandez, 121 Idaho 114, 117-18, 822 P.2d 1011, 1014-

                                                1
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, Hunt’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.

                                                   2
