                          Before HUSKEY, Judge; LORELLO, Judge;
                                  and BRAILSFORD, Judge
                    ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
         Taylor R. Dobson pled guilty to felony driving under the influence of alcohol, Idaho
Code §§ 18-8004, 18-8005. The district court withheld judgment, suspended Dobson’s driving
privileges for five years, and placed Dobson on probation for five years. Dobson appeals,
contending the district court abused its discretion in suspending her driver’s license for five
years.
         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, the order of probation on withheld judgment is affirmed.
