                      Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; LANSING, Judge;
                                 and MELANSON, Judge

PER CURIAM
       David Lee Wilder pled guilty to aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol. I.C.
§ 18-8006.   The district court sentenced Wilder to a unified term of fifteen years, with a
minimum period of confinement of four years. The district court retained jurisdiction. After
Wilder completed the retained jurisdiction program the district court suspended the sentence and
granted probation for a period of three years. Wilder appeals the 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, Wilder’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
