PER CURIAM
       Theron Johnnie Tracy was convicted of felony driving under the influence, Idaho Code
§§ 18-8004(1)(a), 18-8005(9). The district court sentenced Tracy to a unified term of ten years,
with a minimum period of confinement of one year, and imposed a $5,000 fine. Tracy appealed.
He also filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion for a reduction of sentence, which the district court
granted, reducing Tracy’s fine to $3,000 and retaining jurisdiction. Following the period of retained
jurisdiction, the district court suspended Tracy’s sentence and placed him on supervised probation for
five years. Tracy appeals, contending that his sentence and fine are excessive.
       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

                                                  1
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, Tracy’s judgment of conviction and sentence, including the fine, are affirmed.
