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

PER CURIAM
       Anthony Lyn Ashley was convicted of six counts of grand theft by possession of stolen
property, with a persistent violator enhancement, Idaho Code §§ 18-2403(4), 18-2407(1); six
counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, I.C. § 18-3316; and petit theft by possession of stolen
property, I.C. §§ 18-2403(4), 18-2407(2). The district court sentenced Ashley to concurrent
unified sentences of thirty years, with fifteen years determinate, for grand theft by possession of
stolen property; ten years determinate for each of the four remaining counts of grand theft by

                                                1
possession of stolen property; five years determinate for each of six counts of unlawful
possession of a firearm; and one year determinate for petit theft by possession of stolen property.
Ashley appeals, contending that his sentences are 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-
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, Ashley’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
