                    Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;

                  ________________________________________________

PER CURIAM
       Jessica Virginia Percoco pled guilty to one count each of trafficking in heroin, I.C. § 37-
2732B(a)(6)(A); grand theft by deception, I.C. §§ 18-2403(2)(a), 18-2407(1)(b), and 18-2409;
and burglary, I.C. § 18-1401.    In exchange for her guilty pleas, additional charges were
dismissed. The district court sentenced Percoco to a unified term of eight years, with a minimum

                                                1
period of confinement of three years, for trafficking in heroin; a concurrent unified term of four
years, with a minimum period of confinement of two years, for grand theft by deception; and a
unified term of four years, with a minimum period of confinement of two years, for burglary, to
run consecutive to the sentence Percoco received for trafficking in heroin. Percoco 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
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, Percoco’s judgment of conviction and sentences are affirmed.
