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

PER CURIAM
       Alejandra Espinoza pled guilty to robbery. I.C. §§ 18-6501, 18-6502. The district court
sentenced Espinoza to a unified term of twenty years, with a minimum period of confinement of
ten years. Espinoza appeals.
       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

                                                1
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, Espinoza’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
