PER CURIAM
       Tyler Ross Tomlinson was found guilty of felony eluding a peace officer. I.C. § 49-
1404(2)(a) and/or (c). The district court sentenced Tomlinson to a unified term of five years, with
a minimum period of confinement of three years. Tomlinson appeals.1

        Tomlinson was also found guilty of and sentenced for misdemeanor resisting or
obstructing an officer. However, this judgment of conviction and sentence are not at issue on
appeal.

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