                         Before LANSING, Judge; GRATTON, Judge;
                                  and MELANSON, Judge

PER CURIAM
       Peter Trejo Mora, aka Peter Mora Trejo, Peter Trejo Mara, Pete Mora pled guilty to rape.
I.C. § 18-6101. In exchange for his guilty pleas, additional charges were dismissed including an
allegation that Mora was a persistent violator. The district court sentenced Mora to a unified life
term, with a minimum period of confinement of ten years. Mora filed an I.C.R. 35 motion for
reduction of his sentence, which the district court denied. Mora 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-

                                                1
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, Mora’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
