                        Before LANSING, Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;

PER CURIAM
       Manuel De Jesus Delacruz Perez pled guilty to lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor
child under the age of sixteen. I.C. § 18-1508. In exchange for his guilty plea, additional
charges were dismissed. The district court sentenced Perez to a unified term of twenty-five
years, with a minimum period of confinement of three years. Perez 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, Perez’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
