                   Before MELANSON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;

                  ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Brian David Martin pled guilty to one count of receiving or transferring a stolen vehicle,
I.C. § 19-2513, and one count of grand theft, I.C. § 19-2513. In exchange for his guilty plea, an
additional charge was dismissed. The district court sentenced Martin to an indeterminate term of
five years for receiving or transferring a stolen vehicle and a consecutive unified term of ten
years, with a minimum period of confinement of five years, for grand theft. Martin appeals.

                                               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, Martin’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
