                 ________________________________________________

                     Before GRATTON, Chief Judge; GUTIERREZ, Judge;
                                 and MELANSON, Judge

PER CURIAM
       Jeramie Warren Leimbach pled guilty to failure to register as a sex offender. I.C. § 18-
8304(1) (c); I.C. § 18-8307(1) and (7); I. C. § 18-8309(1) and (2); and I. C. § 18-8311. The
district court sentenced Leimbach to a unified term of ten years, with a minimum period of
confinement of five years. Leimbach filed an I.C.R. 35 motion for reduction of his sentence,
which the district court denied. Leimbach appeals, arguing his sentence is 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
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, Leimbach’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
