PER CURIAM
       Trevor S. Barney entered an Alford1 plea to sexual abuse of a child under the age of
sixteen. Idaho Code § 18-1506. The district court sentenced Barney to a unified term of fifteen
years with two and one-half years determinate and retained jurisdiction.           Barney appeals
asserting that the district court abused its discretion by imposing an excessive sentence.
       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

       See North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970).

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, Barney’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
