                        Before LANSING, Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;

PER CURIAM
       Shaun Michael Butticci-Briones pled guilty to failure to register as a sex offender. I.C. §
18-8309. In exchange for his guilty plea, the state dismissed an allegation that Butticci-Briones
was a persistent violator. The district court sentenced Butticci-Briones to a unified term of ten
years, with a minimum period of confinement of two years, to run consecutive to an unrelated
sentence. Butticci-Briones 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.

                                                1
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, Butticci-Briones’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
