                     Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;

                   ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Jeanette M. Nedbalek pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance with intent to
deliver, methamphetamine.      Idaho Code § 37-2732(a)(1)(A).        The district court sentenced
Nedbalek to a unified term of eight years with three years determinate. Nedbalek appeals
asserting that the district court abused its discretion by imposing an excessive sentence.
       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-

                                                 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, Nedbalek’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
