                    Before MELANSON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;

                   ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Leslie Gene Trent pled guilty to felony driving under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs, Idaho Code §§ 18-8004, 18-8005(5). The district court imposed a unified sentence of
eight years, with a minimum term of confinement of four years. Trent appeals, contending that
his sentence is excessive.
       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, Trent’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
