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

PER CURIAM
       Verl Edward Terry was convicted of manufacture of marijuana, Idaho Code
§ 37-2732(a)(1)(B), and misdemeanor malicious injury to property, I.C. § 18-7001. The district
court imposed a unified sentence of five years with two years determinate for manufacturing
marijuana, a concurrent 180-day jail sentence with 180 days’ credit for time served for malicious
injury to property, and retained jurisdiction. Upon Terry’s completion of retained jurisdiction,
the district court suspended Terry’s sentence and placed him on supervised probation for three
years. Terry appeals, contending that his manufacture of marijuana sentence is excessive.

                                               1
       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,
1014-15 (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, Terry’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
