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

PER CURIAM
       Sevina Rose Farmer was convicted of felony driving under the influence, Idaho Code
§§ 18-8004, 18-8005(5). The district court sentenced Farmer to a unified term of eight years,
with a minimum period of confinement of three years. Farmer appeals, contending that her
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, Farmer’s judgment of conviction and sentence are affirmed.
