                    Before MELANSON, Chief Judge; GRATTON, Judge;

PER CURIAM
       Brandon Michael Corral pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a child, felony, Idaho
Code § 18-1507(2)(d). The district court imposed a unified thirty-year sentence, with seven
years determinate. Corral filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion, which the district court
denied.1 Corral 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.
See State v. Hernandez, 121 Idaho 114, 117-18, 822 P.2d 1011, 1014-15 (Ct. App. 1991); State

1
       Corral does not appeal the denial of his I.C.R. 35 motion.
                                                1
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, Corral’s judgment of conviction is affirmed.

                                                     2
