                      Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;
                                   and HUSKEY, Judge
                    ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Ricardo Allen Jimison was found guilty of one count of grand theft and one count of
forgery.     Idaho Code §§ 18-2403(1), 18-2407(1)(b), 18-2409, 18-3601.         The district court
sentenced Jimison to concurrent unified terms of eight years with two years determinate.
Jimison appeals asserting that the district court abused its discretion by imposing excessive
sentences.
       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, Jimison’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
